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 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 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.
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 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.

ETUP MODE

SELECT FOLDER

This option allows the selection of existing folders. All images recorded will be placed in
the selected folder if the folder-name option is set to standard form. In quick view or
playback mode, only the images in the selected folder can be viewed or edited.
Except for the all-frames-C setting in the custom 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 CompactFlash card erases all folders
regardless if they are selected or not.

AUDIO SIGNALS

Every time a button is pressed, an audio signal will give a positive confirmation of the
operation. The audio signals can be turn off in the custom 1 section of the setup menu
(p. 84). The tone of the signal can also be changed; signal 1 is mechanical and signal 2
is electrical.

SHUTTER FX

(Standard)
When the shutter is released, a shutter sound effect
will give a positive confirmation of the operation. The
sound effect can be turn off in the custom 1 section
of the setup menu (p. 84). Two shutter effects are
available; signal 1 is mechanical and signal 2 is

electrical. The mechanical shutter sound was taken
(Date)
from the legendary Minolta CLE, a compact
rangefinder that represents the pinnacle of the
development of the Leitz-Minolta CL.

VOLUME

The speaker volume can be increased or decreased. This affects the audio signals and
shutter FX only and will not change the levels of the voice memo or movie audio track.
