• For information about file names, see “Memory Folder Structure” on page 124.
• An image that was rotated on the camera will be displayed on your Macintosh 
screen in its original (unrotated) orientation.
IMPORTANT!
• 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 the camera’s image management data, which will make it impossible 
to play back images on the camera and can drastically alter remaining memory 
capacity. Whenever you want to modify, delete, move, or rename an image, do so 
only on images that are stored on your computer.
• Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera while viewing or storing 
images. Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.
If you are running Mac OS X, you can use the iPhoto application that comes bundled 
with the operating system to manage your images. 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.

experience problems, try the following.
– Change the movie image quality setting to “STD”.
– Upgrade to the latest version of QuickTime.

Even if proper playback is not possible on your Macintosh, you can use the AV cable 
that comes bundled with the camera to connect to the video input terminal a TV or 
Macintosh and play back movies that way.

							123Using the Camera with a Computer
The camera creates a file and saves it 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 124).
• You can view folder and file names on your computer. For details about how file 
names are displayed on the camera’s monitor screen, see page 157.
• 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.

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 devices produced by other manufacturers. 
You can transfer DCF-compliant images recorded 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 Card Data Handling Precautions
• Whenever copying memory contents to your 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 they 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 124 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.

Specifying the File Name Serial Number Generation Rule 
(File No.)
ContinueTells the camera to remember the last used file number. A new file will 
be named using the next sequential number, 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 existing file names plus 1.
ResetRestarts the serial number from 0001 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 existing file 
names number plus 1.
