File Number (#) Memory; Folder Name - Minolta Dimage Dimage Xt Instruction Manual

FILE NUMBER (#) MEMORY

If file number memory is selected, when a new folder is created, the first file stored in the folder will
have a number one greater than the last file saved. If the file number memory is disabled, the image
file number will be 0001. File number memory is activated in the custom 1 section of the setup menu.
If file number memory is active and the memory card is changed, the first file saved to the new card
will have a number one greater than the last file saved on the previous card if the new card does not
contain an image with a greater file number. If it does, the file number of the new image will be one
greater than the greatest on the card.

FOLDER NAME

All recorded images are stored in folders on the memory card. Folder names
come in two formats, standard and date.
Standard folders have an eight character name. The initial folder is named
100MLT18. The first three digits are the folder's serial number, which will increase
by one each time a new folder is created. The next three letters refer to Minolta,
and the last two numbers indicate the camera used; 18 indicates a DiMAGE Xt.
A date folder name also starts with the three digit serial number and is followed
by one register for the year, two register for the month, and two registers for the
day: 101YMMDD. The folder 10130412 was created in 2003 on April 12th.
With the date folder format selected, when an image is recorded a new folder with
the day's date will be created. All images recorded that day will be placed in that
folder. Images recorded on a different day will be placed in a new folder with the corresponding date.
If the file number memory function is off, when a new folder is created, the serial number in the
image-file name is reset to 0001. If file number memory function is on, the serial number in the
image-file will be one greater than the last image saved. For more information on folder organization
and file names, see page 90.
