USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COMPUTER
E-109
Personal Computer
• This camera uses management files to manage the se-
quence and attributes of image files. Because of this, add-
ing files, deleting files, changing management file con-
tents, or changing file sequence and attributes with your
computer can cause panorama images to become
ungrouped. It can also result in slower image scrolling on
the camera.
• When transferring CompactFlash card contents to a hard
disk, floppy diskette, MO disk, or other external storage,
keep everything in the DCIM folder together. Changing the
name of the DCIM folder to a date is a good way to keep
track of your images. However, be sure to change the
name of this folder back to DCIM if you ever copy it back to
the memory card for playback on the camera. This camera
does not recognize any folder name besides DCIM.
• The above is also true about the names of folders inside
the DCIM folder. These folders must be returned to the
names assigned to them by the camera whenever you
copy the DCIM folder back to the memory card for playback
on the camera.
• Never delete or modify the QVS file in any way.
• We also strongly recommend that after transferring data
from a CompactFlash card to other external storage that
you re-format the card and delete its contents before using
it to record more images.

• This camera generates a Card Browser file whenever
you turn off power. When the card in the camera con-
tains a large number of files, it may take some time for
the file generation operation to be performed. You can
turn off the Card Browser feature if you do not want a
file generated each time you turn off camera power.
How to use the HTML file
Viewing HTML File Contents
Load the CompactFlash card into a card slot of your com-
puter (page E-106). Now drop the INDEX.HTM file (in the
DCIM folder) onto your Web browser to display a list of all
images contained on the CompactFlash card.
For information about importing data from a memory card,
see “Setting Up to Access CompactFlash Card Contents
from Your Computer” (E-106) and “Connecting to a Com-
puter” (E-100).
Clicking on a folder name displays the following data about
the images contained in the folder.
