How Files are Named
Files on the Picture Card are named as follows:
m
Music files retain their original filename with the file extension MP3.
Music files are stored in the MUSIC folder on the Picture Card.
m
Video clips are named VID_xxxx.MOV, where xxxx represents the
video clip file number and MOV indicates the file is a QUICKTIME
video clip. Video clips are stored in the 100__MC3 folder on the
Picture Card.
m
Still pictures are named PIC_xxxx.JPG, where xxxx represents the
picture number and JPG indicates that the picture is taken in the JPEG
file format. Still pictures are stored in the 100__MC3 folder on the
Picture Card.
How Pictures and Videos are Numbered
Pictures and videos are numbered in the order in which they are taken. For
example, the first picture in the \DCIM\100__MC3 folder is PIC_0001.JPG.
The mc3 device maintains a count of the number of pictures taken, which is
used to determine the number of the next picture taken.
m
Even if you transfer pictures or videos to the computer or delete these
files from the Picture Card, the mc3 device uses consecutive numbers
for all subsequent pictures. For example, if the last picture was
PIC_0007.JPG, the next picture is PIC_0008.JPG.
m
When you insert a different Picture Card into your mc3 device, the
next number is derived by incrementing the higher of the last picture
or video in the device or the highest existing number in the folder on
the card.
m
When you insert the Picture Card into a different mc3 device, the next
picture or video number is derived by incrementing either the highest
existing number or the highest number previously taken by that
device.
