Notes
• Do not delete nor
change the names of
folders or files under
the PIC_CAM
directory. Doing so
will prevent the control
file inside the directory
from activating and the
"Sony Digital Still
Camera Album Utility"
from displaying the
image.
• In case the Dscalbum
folder is renamed or
moved to another
directory, it cannot be
located with [Open
Folder] in the File
menu of the "Sony
Digital Still Camera
Album Utility." You
can locate the folder
with [Find Folder] in
the Option menu.
Image filing system of the Album
Utility
The "Sony Digital Still Camera album Utility" handles
the images in a unique album filing system–"Album"
format. You can also handle the images as standard
file formats such as BMP, TIFF or JPEG.
Album format
When the Digital Still Camera images are copied onto
the hard disk or other storage device, they are stored
in the original filing system shown below, which is
called the "Album" format. The "Album" format
enables saving an image in a small file size without
degrading its picture quality. Since the "Album"
format is the original filing system, you cannot open
an Album format file with other applications.
Album folder
The folder named with an 8-digit
number containing the maximum of
30 PIC ***** folders. It is the only
folder whose name users can
register.
Dscalbum folder
located on the
root directory.
The list of files
contained in the
selected album.
Albums
Each folder can
contain up to 200
image files
(.pmp).
