Folder name
All recorded images are stored in folders on the memory card. Folder
names come in two formats, standard and date.
Standard folders have an eight character name. The initial folder is
named 100MLT20. The first three digits are the folder’s serial number,
which will increase by one each time a new folder is created. The next
three letters refer to Minolta, and the last two numbers indicate the
camera used; 20 indicates a DiMAGE F200.
A date folder name also starts with the three digit serial number and is
followed by one register for the year, two register for the month, and two
registers for the day: 101YMMDD. The folder 10130412 was created in
2003 on April 12
th
.
With the date folder format selected, when an image is recorded a new folder with the
day’s date will be created. All images recorded that day will be placed in that folder.
Images recorded on a different day will be placed in a new folder with the corresponding
date. If the file number memory function is off (p. 101), when a new folder is created, the
serial number in the image-file name is reset to 0001. If file number memory function is
on, the serial number in the image-file will be one greater than the last image saved. For
more information on folder organization and file names, see page 114.

Audio signals
Every time a button is pressed, an audio signal will give a positive confirmation of the
operation. The audio signals can be turn off in the custom 1 section of the setup menu
(p. 98). The tone of the signal can also be changed; signal 1 is mechanical and signal 2
is electrical.
When the shutter is released, a shutter sound effect
will give a positive confirmation of the operation. The
sound effect can be turn off in the custom 1 section
of the setup menu (p. 98). Three shutter effects are
available; signal 1 is mechanical, signal 2 is
electrical, and custom for a personalized effect. The
mechanical shutter sound was taken from the
legendary Minolta CLE, a compact rangefinder that
represents the pinnacle of the development of the
Leitz-Minolta CL.

Remaining recording time
Microphone
During the recording, hold the camera’s microphone
approximately 20cm (8in) from your mouth. Up to five
seconds of audio can be recorded. The remaining
recording time is indicated by a status bar and the
frame counter on the monitor. The recording will
end when the shutter-release button is pressed
again or recording time has elapsed.
The length of the recording will affect the performance of
the camera. The longer the recorded sound effect, the
longer the delay between image capture. This can have a
significant affect on the continuous-advance frame rate.
