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 100MLT10. 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; 10 indicates a DiMAGE 7Hi.
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: 100YMMDD. The folder 10120412 was creat-
ed in 2002 on April 12 th .
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 placed in a new folder with the corresponding
date. When a new folder is created, the serial number in the image-file name is reset to
0001 unless file number memory is active. For more information on folder organization
and file names, see page 140.

ETUP MODE

SELECT FOLDER

This option allows the selection of existing folders. In quick view or playback mode,
only the images in the selected folder can be viewed or edited. In recording mode, the
folder-name option on in the advanced 1 section of the setup menu must be set to
standard form in order to select the folder in which to place the subsequent recorded
100MLT10
images.
(Standard)
Except for the all-frames-C setting in the advanced 2 section of the playback-mode
menu, changes made with menus only affect the images in the selected folder. To
make changes to all images in multiple folders, each folder must be selected and the
menu operation repeated for each folder. Formatting a memory card in the basic sec-
tion of the playback menu, erases all folders regardless if they are selected or not.

NEW FOLDER

This allows the creation of new folders. The folder-name option on in the advanced 1
section of the setup menu must be set to standard form in order to use the new-folder
function. When selected, the electronic keyboard (p. 82) automatically appears so the
folder name can be entered. Once the name is typed in and the enter button on the
keyboard is highlighted and entered, the folder will be created and the name will be list-
ed in the select-folder option.
Every folder name begins with a three digit index number. When the electronic key-
board activates, three digits will be displayed in the register. This number cannot be
changed. Every time a new folder is created, the folder number will increase automati-
cally by one greater than the highest folder number on the memory card. A five-charac-
ter folder name must be entered after the number; only capital letters, numbers, and
the underbar can be used. To cancel the electronic-keyboard display without creating a
new folder, press the menu button.
