Assigning File Names To Images - Olympus CAMEDIA C-211 Zoom Operating Instructions Manual

Assigning File Names to Images

When you shoot an image, the camera writes the result into the card as an image file.
The camera automatically assigns a name to the file when writing it to the card. While
most aspects of file naming are automatic, you can use the feature described here to
select how the camera handles filename assignments when you switch from one card
to another.
For details about how to use the Setup menu, see "Using the Setup
menu" on page 167.
Each image is stored as a separate file in the card. The file configuration is
shown below.
D C I M
Root folder
O L Y M P
Folder No.
(100 to 999)
1 The "jpg" file extension is used for stills taken in all recording modes other than SHQ-
TIFF. Stills taken in SHQ-TIFF are given a "tif" extension. The extension for movies is
"mov". (Each movie occupies a single file.)
Each time you take a shot, the camera increments the file number by 1. When the file
2
number reaches 9999, the camera creates a new folder (incrementing the folder
number by 1) and starts again from file number 0001.
