Setting the File and Folder Names
}The file and folder of a picture recorded with the DP12 are
named respectively as file No. 0001 to 9999 and folder No.
100 to 999. The file and folder can be named by one of the
two methods including AUTO and RESET. These options can
be selected from item FILE MENU in the menu.
Folder and file names
A picture recorded with the DP12 is given a folder name and file name as shown below.
* In the "month" expression for the file name, January to September are expressed as 1 to 9, October as A, November as B
and December as C.
How the folder and file are named in each mode
{AUTO
When the SmartMedia is exchanged, the folder No. remains unchanged but the file No. becomes the number continuing
the file Nos. which have been recorded on the previously used SmartMedia.
(Example)
When pictures are copied file by file onto a PC, the file Nos. do not overlap even when the pictures were recorded in
multiple cards. However, when 9999 pictures have been recorded, the file No. returns to 0001.
{RESET
When the SmartMedia is exchanged, both the folder No. and file No. are reset.
