Minolta DiMAGE S414 Instruction Manual page 99

Image and audio file names begin with "PICT" followed by a four-digit file number and a tif, jpg, mov,
or thm extension. Voice-memo audio files have a wav extension and the file name corresponds to its
image file. The thumbnail images (thm) are produced with TIFF images and movie clips and are only
used in camera and DiMAGE Viewer operation.
Copy images (p. 82) are placed in a folder with a name ending in "CP." 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 index 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 100MLT24 to
101MLT24.
The number in the image file name may not correspond to the frame number of the image. 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 serial numbers used with 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 serial number in the folder. File serial numbers can be controlled
with the file-number-memory function in the custom 1 section of the setup menu (p. 84).
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, such as Adobe Photoshop, and then the image is saved overwriting the origi-
nal data, the exif tag information is erased. When using software other than the DiMAGE
Viewer, always make a backup copy of the image files to protect the exif tag data.
To view images correctly on your computer, the monitor's color space may need to be adjusted.
Refer to your computer manual on how to calibrate the display to the following requirements:
sRGB, with a color temperature of 6500K, and a gamma of 2.2. Changes made to the captured
image with the camera's contrast and color-saturation controls will affect any color-matching
software in use.
