Folder And File Naming Conventions; Naming Folders - Kodak DC290 User Manual

Folder and File Naming Conventions

When you are using KODAK-supplied host software and are connected to the
camera or using a card reader, it is possible to create folders and files, including
picture files on the memory card. All filenames must follow the DOS 8-character
format. You can use eight (8) alphanumeric characters (A-Z and 0-9), and DOS-
format symbols. You cannot use spaces or names that begin with BR or TL,
which are reserved. You cannot use the following symbols:
Period (.)
Slash (/)
Brackets ([ ])
Semicolon (;)
Equal sign (=)
Quotation marks (" ")
Backslash (\)
Colon (:)
Vertical bar (|)
Comma (,)

Naming Folders

When naming/renaming a folder using a CF card reader, you should limit the
name to eight (8) standard alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9). If you rename a
time-lapse or burst folder and do not use the prefix TL or BR, then the camera no
longer recognizes the folder as a time-lapse or burst folder, but recognizes the
folder as an album.
It is possible to create folders that are not used by the camera for picture taking or
for viewing pictures. You must limit your directory structure to three levels of
folders and follow the rules for naming a folder.
