Setting the File and Folder Names
Factory setup: RESET
}The file storing a recorded picture and the folder storing the
file are named automatically inside the DP20.
The files are named in the range from file Nos. 0001 to 9999
and the folders are named in the range from folder Nos. 100
to 999.
The file and folder can be named by one of the two methods
including AUTO and RESET. These options can be selected
from item FILE MENU in the menu.
Note that the maximum number of image files that can be
stored on one CF card is 10,000. With TIFF images, the
maximum storable number is 5,000.

In the “Month” expression for the file name, January to September are expressed as “1” to “9”, October as “A”, November
as “B” and December as “C”.
How the folder and file are named in each mode
{AUTO
When the CF card is exchanged, the file No. becomes the number continuing the file Nos. which have been recorded on
the previously used CF card to avoid overlapping.
(Example) When a CF card recorded till Folder No. 100/File No. 0005 is exchanged with another CF card:
When pictures are copied file by file onto a PC, the file Nos. do not overlap even when the pictures were recorded in
multiple cards. Note that, however, when 9999 pictures have been recorded, the file No. returns to 0001.
{RESET
When the CF card is exchanged, both the folder No. and file No. are reset.
(Example) When a CF card recorded till Folder No. 102/File No. 0005 is exchanged with another CF card recorded till
Folder No. 105/File No. 0008:
· When a picture is copied onto a PC, the copied picture has the same
folder name as the copy source folder name, thereby making the data
management easier.
Same folder name as the copy source folder.
