computer.
. To view copied images
1.Double-click the camera’s drive icon.
2.Double-click the “DCIM” folder to open it.
3.Double-click the folder that contai ns the images you want to view.
4.Double-click the image file you want to view.
• For information about file names, see “Memory Folder Structure” on page 146.
• An image that was rotated on the camera will be displayed on your Macintosh 
screen in its original (unrotated) orientation.
• Viewing a CS image on a computer will  individually display the component 
images in the CS group. A CS group cannot be viewed as a CS image on a 
computer.
IMPORTANT!
• Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera while viewing or storing  images. Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.
Never use your computer to modify, delete, move, or rename any image files 
that are in the camera’s built-in memory or on its memory card.
Doing so can cause problems with t
he camera’s image management data, which 
will make it impossible to play back imag es on the camera and can drastically alter 
remaining memory capacity. Whenever y ou want to modify, delete, move, or 
rename an image, do so only on images that are stored on your computer. 
						

							
142Using the Camera with a Computer
If you are running Mac OS X, you can manage snapshots using iPhoto, which comes 
bundled with some Macintosh products. If  you are running Mac OS 9, you will need to 
use commercially available software.
You can use QuickTime, which comes bundled  with your operating system, to play 
back movies on a Macintosh.  To play back a movie, first copy it to your Macintosh 
and then double-click the movie file.
. Minimum Computer System Re quirements for Movie Playback
The minimum system requirements descri bed below are necessary to play back 
movies recorded with this camera on a computer.
• The above are recommended system environments. Configuring one of these  environments does not guarantee proper operation.
• Certain settings and other installed software may interfere with proper playback of  movies.
. Movie Playback Precautions
Proper movie playback may not be possi ble on some Macintosh models. If you 
experience problems, try the following. – Change the movie image quality setting to “STD”.
– Upgrade to the latest version of QuickTime.
– Shut down other applications that are running.
Even if proper playback is not possible on y our Macintosh, you can use the AV cable 
that comes bundled with the camera to connect to the video input terminal of a TV or 
Macintosh and play back movies that way.
IMPORTANT!
• Be sure to move the movie data to the hard disk of your Macintosh before trying to  play it. Proper movie playback may not  be possible for data accessed over a 
network, from a memory card, etc.

IMPORTANT!
• Recorded images are transferred over wireless LAN. Do not use the Eye-Fi card or turn off Eye-Fi card communication (page 148) when on an aircraft or in any other 
location where use of wireless commu nication is limited or prohibited.
• Loading an Eye-Fi card will cause the Eye-Fi indicator   to

145Using the Camera with a Computer
The camera creates a file each time you shoot a snapshot, record a movie, or 
perform any other operation that stores data. Files are grouped by storing them in 
folders. Each file and folder has its own unique name.• For details about how folders are organized in memory, see “Memory Folder  Structure” (page 146).
• You can view folder and file names on y our computer. For details about how file 
names are displayed on the camera’s  monitor screen, see pages 12 and 13.
• The total number of folders and files allowed depends on the image size and  quality, and capacity of the memory card being used for storage.
Files and Folders
Name and Maximum Number AllowedExample

Each folder can contain up to 9999 files named 
CIMG0001 through CIMG9999. The extension

The camera stores images you shoot in accordance with the Design Rule for Camera 
File System (DCF).
.About DCF
DCF is a standard that makes it possible to view and print images recorded on one 
manufacturer’s camera on DCF-compliant de vices produced by other manufacturers. 
You can transfer DCF-compliant images re corded with another camera to this 
camera and view them on this camera’s monitor screen.

.Supported Image Files
• Image files shot with this camera
• DCF-compliant image files
This camera may not be able to display an image, even if it is DCF-compliant. When 
displaying an image recorded on another camera, it may take a long time for the 
image to appear on this camera’s monitor screen.
. Built-in Memory and Memory Ca rd Data Handling Precautions
• Whenever copying memory contents to y our computer, you should copy the DCIM 
folder and all of its contents. A good way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders it to 
change their names to dates or something  similar after you copy them to your 
computer. If you later decided to return a  DCIM folder to the camera, however, be 
sure to change its name back to DCIM. The camera is designed to recognize only a 
root file with the name DCIM. Note the camera also will not be able to recognize the 
folders inside the DCIM folder unless t hey have the names they originally had 
when you copied them from the camera to your computer.
• Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the “Memory Folder Structure”  shown on page 146 in order for the camera to be able to recognize them correctly.
• You also can use a PC card adapter or a memory card reader/writer to access  camera files directly from the camera’s memory card.

Procedure
[MENU]  * Set Up Tab  * File No.
Use the following procedure to specify the  rule that governs generation of the serial 
number used in file names (page 145).
Specifying the File Name Seri al Number Generation Rule 
(File No.)
Continue Tells the camera to remember the last used file number. A new file will 
be named using the next sequential num
ber, even if files are deleted or 
if a blank memory card is loaded. If a memory card is loaded and that 
card already has files stored on it and the largest sequential number in 
the existing file names is greater  than the largest sequential number 
remembered by the camera, numbering of new files will start from the 
largest sequential number in the memory card file names plus 1.
Reset Restarts the serial number from 0
001 whenever all files are deleted or 
when the memory card is replaced with a blank one. If a memory card 
is loaded and that card already has  files stored on it, numbering of new 
files will start from the largest sequential number in the memory card 
file names plus 1.
