IMPORTANT!
• Recorded images are transferred over wireless LAN. Do not use the Eye-Fi card or 
turn off Eye-Fi card communication (page 106) when on an aircraft or in any other 
location where use of wireless communication is limited or prohibited.
• Loading an Eye-Fi card will cause the Eye-Fi indicator   to 
appear on the monitor screen. Its transparent or not transparent 
appearance indicates the communication status as shown below.
• A communication icon   will appear on the monitor screen while image data 
transfer is in progress.
• The camera’s Auto Power Off (page 111) function is disabled while image data 
transfer is in progress.
• A confirmation message will appear on the monitor screen if you try to turn off the 
camera while image data transfer is in progress. Follow the instructions in the 
messages (page 134).
• Transfer of a large number of images can take some time to complete.
• Depending on the type of Eye-Fi card you are using and its settings, images on the 
Eye-Fi card may be deleted following image data transfer.
• When recording a movie to an Eye-Fi card, it can take too much time to record 
data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio.
• Proper Eye-Fi card data communication may not be possible due to camera 
settings, battery level, or operating conditions.
• Use of an Eye-Fi X2 card is not recommended.

transferable image data exists.

							103Using 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 104).
• 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 11.
• 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
File
Each folder can contain up to 9999 files named 
CIMG0001 through CIMG9999. The extension 
on the file name depends on the file type.26th file name:
Folders
Folders are named from 100CASIO to 
999CASIO.
There can be up to 900 folders in memory.
• The BEST SHOT (page 52) includes a sample 
scene that optimizes settings for auction site 
images. Depending on your camera model, 
the sample scene is named either “For eBay” 
or “Auction”.
– Images recorded with the eBay scene are 
stored in a folder named “100_EBAY”.
– Images recorded with the Auction scene are 
stored in a folder named “100_AUCT”.
• BEST SHOT also has a scene named “For 
YouTube” that optimizes movie settings for 
recording movies for upload to YouTube. 
Images recorded with the YouTube scene are 
stored in a folder named “100YOUTB”.100th folder name:

.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 copies of 
the DCIM folders it to change its name to a date or something similar after you copy 
it to your computer. If you later decided to return the 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 104 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.
