FILE MANAGEMENT
The file management capabilities of the camera make it
easy to keep track of images. You can protect files against
deletion and store the files you want in the camera’s built-in
memory.
Folders
Your camera automatically creates folders in its built-in
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. File names are
generated as shown below.
Example: Name of the 26th file
Extension

Serial number (4 digits)
•The folder and file names described here appear when
you view folders and files on a computer. See page 28 for
information about how the camera displays folder and file
names.
•The actual number of files you will be able to store on a
memory card depends on image size and quality, card
capacity, etc.
•For details about the folder structure, see “Memory Folder
Structure” on page 201.

Using the FAVORITE Folder
You can copy scenery shots, photos of your family, or other
special images from a file storage folder (page 201) to the
FAVORITE folder in built-in memory (page 201). Images in
the FAVORITE folder are not displayed during normal
playback, so it helps to keep your personal images private
as you carry them around. FAVORITE folder images are
not deleted when you change memory cards, so you can
always keep them on hand.

 NOTE

FAVORITE folder.
•A file copied into the FAVORITE folder is
automatically assigned a file name that is a serial
number. Though the serial number starts from 0001
and can go as high as 9999, the actual upper end of
the range depends on built-in memory capacity.
Remember that the maximum number of images that
can be stored in built-in memory depends on the size
of each image and other factors.
 IMPORTANT! 
•Note that an image that has been copied to the
FAVORITE folder and then resized cannot be
returned to its original size.
•Files in the FAVORITE folder cannot be copied to a
memory card.

folder on your computer screen, you need to remove
the memory card from the camera (if you are using
one) before placing the camera onto the USB cradle
to start data communication (pages 171, 186).
