FILE MANAGEMENT

The file management capabilities of the camera make it
easy to keep track of images. You can protect files against
deletion, and even use its DPOF feature to specify images
for printing.

Folders

Your camera automatically creates a directory of image
storage folders in its built-in Flash memory or on the
memory card.

Memory Folders and Files

An image you record is automatically stored in a folder,
whose name is a serial number. You can have up to 900
folders in memory at the same time. Folder names are
generated as shown below.

Example: Name of the 100th folder.

Each folder can hold files numbered up to 9,999.
Trying to store the 10,000th file in a folder causes the next
serially numbered folder to be created. Folder names are
generated as shown below.

Example: Name of the 26th file
