							261USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER
The method you should use to read files from a memory card 
depends on the type of computer you have. Some typical 
examples are shown below. After you connect, use the same 
procedures as those that you use when the camera is connected 
to your computer via the USB cradle.
■If your computer has a memory card slot
After checking to make sure that your computer’s card slot is 
compatible with the memory card you are using to store images, 
insert the memory card into the slot.
■If your computer has a PC card slot
Use a commercially available PC card adapter that is 
appropriate for the memory card. For full details, see the user 
documentation that comes with the PC card adapter and your 
computer.
■Other types of computers
Use either of the method described below.
– Use a commercially 
available memory card 
reader/writer that is 
appropriate for the 
memory card you are 
using. See the user 
documentation that comes with the memory card reader/
writer for details about how to use it.
– Use a commercially available PC card reader/writer and a 
commercially available PC card adapter that is appropriate 
to the type of memory card you are using. See the user 
documentation that comes with the PC card reader/writer 
and PC card adapter for details about how to use them.Reading Files Directly from a Memory

The camera stores images you shoot and other data in 
accordance with the Design Rule for Camera File System 
(DCF).
■About DCF
DCF is a system that defines both image file formats and the 
structure of the folders that store data. This makes it possible for 
a digital camera, printer, or other DCF-compliant device to 
display or print image data from another DCF device.

■Supported Image Files
•Image files shot with this camera
•DCF-compliant image files
Even if an image is DCF-compliant, this camera still may not be 
able to display it. 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
•When saving camera data to a computer hard disk, MO disk, 
or other medium, be sure to transfer the entire DCIM folder 
and its contents. Changing the name of the DCIM to a date or 
something similar after you copy it to your computer is a good 
way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders. When moving the 
folder back to the camera, however, be sure to change its 
name back to DCIM. This camera does not recognize any 
folder name besides DCIM.
All of the other folders inside the DCIM folder must also have 
their original names if you transfer them back to the camera.
•Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the 
“Memory Folder Structure” shown on page 262 in order for the 
camera to be able to recognize them correctly.
