MANAGING IMAGES
66
This section contains information about how images are
stored in memory. It also explains how you can specify print
settings.
Folders and Files
Your camera automatically creates a directory of folders on
the memory card to store images.
Folders
A folder is created automatically whenever you shoot the
first image on a particular date. The name assigned to the
folder is based on the current date, as described below. You
can have up to 900 folders on a memory card at the same
time (subject to storage capacity restrictions).
Example: Folder created on July 19, which is the 100th
folder on the memory card

In addition to image files, memory cards also contain a
number of other files used by the system for image data
management.

The actual number of files you will be able to store on a
memory card depends on the capacity of the card, image
quality settings, etc.
