File Number (#) Memory; Folder Name - Minolta DiMAGE S414 Instruction Manual

FILE NUMBER (#) MEMORY

When file number memory is selected, if 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 name will have a number one greater than the last image saved in the folder.
If file number memory is active and the CompactFlash 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
100MLT24. The first three digits are the folder's serial number, which will increase
100MLT24
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; 24 indicates a DiMAGE
(Standard)
S414.
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.
10130412
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
(Date)
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 98.
