About DCF
DCF is the abbreviation for “Design rule for Camera File
System”. It is the standards that have been regulated by
Japan Electronic Industry Development Association, or
JEIDA, to promote environments mainly for users to easily
utilize image files, such as ones from digital still cameras,
among related products. DCF standards, however, do not
guarantee complete compatibility among products.
