CF Card Folder Structure and File Names
The images on a CF card are placed in subfolders named [xxxCANON], where the
“xxx” represents a number from 100 to 998, within the [DCIM] folder.
* Files with the THM extension are the thumbnail image files for the camera’s index
replay mode.
** Each successive file shot in Stitch Assist mode is assigned a letter starting from
“A,” which is inserted as the third digit in the name. i.e. [STA_0001.JPG],
[STB_0002.JPG], [STC_0003.JPG] ...
• The “xxxx” in file names represent four-digit numbers.
• All folders except the “xxxCANON” folders contain image settings files. Do not
open or delete them.
