E-mail Copy
E-mail copy makes a economy 640 X 480 (VGA) JPEG copy of an original
still image so that it may be easily transmitted by e-mail. Images with voice
memos are copied with their audio files. Copies of locked images are
unlocked. DPOF information is not copied. Movie clips and audio files
cannot be copied, and E-mail copies cannot be recopied. The e-mail copy function is
selected in the basic section of the playback-mode menu.
E-mail copy option has two settings:
This-frame - To copy the file displayed or highlighted in playback mode. Selecting this
menu option will automatically start the e-mail copy routine.
Marked frames - To copy single or multiple files. When selected, the frame-selection
screen will appear; highlight the file to be e-mail copied with the yellow border and then
push the zoom lever up to mark it with the check icon. To deselect a file to be copied,
highlight the selected thumbnail and push the zoom lever down; the check icon will
disappear. Continue until all the files to be copied are marked. Press the enter button to
start the e-mail copy routine.
If the memory card does not have the enough space to create the copy, or a movie,
audio, or e-mail file is selected, a warning message will be displayed.
When the copy is made, a screen will appear to indicate the folder name containing the
copied images. Press the enter button to compete the operation and return to the
menu.
E-mail copy images are placed in a folder designated by EM. The e-mail copy images
will be stored in the same folder until the number of images exceed 9,999. When more
than 9,999 copies have been made, a new folder with a serial number one greater than
the last folder will be made for the next 9,999 copies. See the memory card folder
organization section on page 80. The e-mail copy indicator is displayed with copied

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
100MLT15. 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; 15
indicates a DiMAGE Xi.
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 10121012 was created in
2002 on October 12 th .
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 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. For more information on folder
organization and file names, see page 82.
