Appendix
About Folder and File Names
Your camera automatically creates specific directory of folders Internal & Memory card to 
organize captured images, videos and audio files.
Folder Structure
Your camera creates three directory names:
• DICAM.  All captured images, videos and audio files are stored in 
this folder except for files recorded using the Auction or YouTube 
mode.
• _AUCT.  Captured images using the Auction mode are saved in this 
folder.
• UTUBE.  Captured videos using the YouTube mode are saved in 
this folder.
Folder names begin with a 3-digit number from 100 to 999 and followed 
by “DICAM” or “_AUCT” or “UTUBE”. Each folder holds up to 9999 files. 
If new files are saved, a new folder named in sequence will be 
automatically created. 
File Naming
File names begin with “DSCI” and followed by a 4-digit number that 
increases in sequence. File numbering starts from 0001 when a new 
folder is created.

warning message “Folder cannot be created.” When  this happens, try one of the following way:
