Memory card folder organization

Once the camera is connected to the computer, image files can be
accessed by double clicking on icons. Image folders are located in the
DCIM folder. The misc. folder contains DPOF print files (p. 84).
Drive Icon
Files and folders on the memory card can be deleted using the computer.
Never format the memory card from the computer; always use the camera
to format the card. Only files recorded by the camera should be stored on
the memory card.

Data-transfer mode
From left to right: standard folder, date
folder, copy folder, e-mail copy folder.
Copy images (p. 80) are placed in a folder with a name
ending in "CP." E-mail Copy images are placed in a fold-
er ending in "EM." When a new folder is created, the
first three digits in the folder name is one greater than
the largest folder number on the card. When the index
number in the image file name exceeds 9,999, a new
folder is created with a number one greater than the
greatest folder number on the memory card: e.g. from
100KM029 to 101KM029. A new folder is created every
time the copy function is used.
The number in the image file name may not correspond to the frame number of the image. As
images are deleted in the camera, the frame counter will adjust itself to show the number of images
on the card and reassign the frame numbers accordingly. The serial numbers used with image files
do not change when an image is deleted. When a new image is recorded, it is assigned a number
one greater than the largest serial number in the folder. File serial numbers can be controlled with
the file-number-memory function in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 92).
Image files contain Exif tag data. This data includes the time and date the image was recorded as
well as the camera settings used. This data can be viewed with the camera or the DiMAGE Master
Lite software.
If a camera image is opened in an image-processing application that does not support Exif tags,
and then the image is saved overwriting the original data, the Exif tag information is erased. Some
Exif compatible applications rewrite the Exif data preventing DiMAGE Master Lite from reading it.
When using software other than the DiMAGE Master Lite, always make a backup copy of the image
files to protect the Exif tag data.
To view images correctly on your computer, the monitor's color space may need to be adjusted.
Refer to your computer manual on how to calibrate the display to the following requirements: sRGB,
with a color temperature of 6500K, and a gamma of 2.2. Changes made to the captured image with
the camera's contrast controls affect any color-matching software in use.

Auto power save - data-transfer mode

When connected to a computer or printer, if the camera does not receive a read or write command
within ten minutes, it shuts down to save power. When the camera shuts down, an unsafe-removal-
of-device warning may appear on the computer monitor. Click "OK." Neither the camera or comput-
er will be damaged in this operation. Turn off the camera with the main switch. Remake the USB
connection by turning the camera on.
