Annotating images
The camera ships with an example text comment table file: example_text_comment.tcf.
The file is stored on the memory card in the subfolder \TextTableTemplates. You can
make a copy of the example file and modify it using a text editor such as Microsoft
Notepad.
When creating or modifying a text comment file, keep the following rules in mind:
1. Lines starting with "#" are regarded as comments and will be ignored.
2. Lines that start with "<" and end with ">" are labels and will appear on the left-hand
side of the table.
3. Non-empty lines under a label line are regarded as values and will be displayed as
options to the label above.
4. When you save the file, select UTF-8 encoding. With UTF-8 encoding, the file will
support all languages currently supported by the camera.
5. The template will be updated by the camera if you add or remove values in the text ta-
ble annotations dialog in the camera. This enables you to modify its content while
you are working with the camera.
6. The camera will find all text table template files if:
• They are placed on the memory card in the subfolder \TextTableTemplates.
• They have an ASCII filename and the file extension .tcf. (ASCII characters include
a–z, A–Z, 0–9, and basic punctuation, and spaces can be used. The file can con-
tain non-ASCII text, but the filename must be ASCII.)
20.3.3.2.2 Example mark-up structure
The file format for the text comment table template is *.tcf. This code sample is an exam-
ple mark-up structure of such a file, and shows how the mark-up appears in a text editor
such as Notepad.
