6. File Storage
The RedEdge camera stores files in the SD card in a folder structure. A new folder is created
for each time the camera is powered up.
Figure 18: File Structure of SD Card
Within each folder, a subfolder with the images themselves is created. If more than 999
images are stored, a second image folder is created
(“000” and “001” for instance). Two log
files are also created.
Within each subfolder, a group of 5 files is created for each image capture (5 TIFF files). The
suffix at the end of each file indicates the imager number (see Figure 4), from 1 through 5.

The TIFF files are 12-bit resolution stored in either 12-bit DNG RAW format or 16-bit TIFF
RAW format depending on the setting (see Section 3.5.4). The resolution is 1280x960 pixels.
Metadata tags are embedded for each file in standard format.
