PICT0003's
Image and audio file names begin with "PICT" followed by a four-digit file number and a
tif, mrw, jpg, jpe, mov, or thm extension. Voice-memo files have a wav extension and
the file name corresponds to its image file. The thumbnail images (thm) are used in
camera and DiMAGE Viewer software operation.
When a new folder is created, the first three digits in the folder name will be one
greater than the largest folder number on the card. When the file number in the image
file name exceeds 9,999, a new folder will be created with a number one greater than
the greatest folder number on the memory card: e.g. from 100MLT10 to 101MLT10.
The file number on the image file may not correspond to its frame number on the
camera. As images are deleted in the camera, the frame counter will adjust itself to
show the number of images on the card and reassign the frame numbers accordingly.
The file numbers on the image files will not change when an image is deleted. When a
new image is recorded, it will be assigned a number one greater than the largest file
number in the folder. File numbers can be controlled with the file-number-memory
function in the advanced 1 section of the setup menu (p. 118).
Camera Notes
Image files contain exif tag data. This data includes the time and date the image was recorded
as well as the camera settings used. This data can be viewed with the camera or the DiMAGE
Viewer software.
If a camera image is opened in a photo-retouching application that does not support Exif tags,
and then the image is saved overwriting the original data, the exif tag information is erased.
When using software other than the DiMAGE Viewer, always rename the image file to protect
the exif tag data.
