Playlist is a DOS format text file, which decides the order of displayed still image 
files or moving image files in the thumbnail or the slide show.
Playlist file name is [imagelistdir.txt]. It is created in each folder when “PC-LESS 
Presentation” is displayed. The timing of playlist creation is when “PC-LESS 
Presentation” is displayed in the directory, which any playlist file does not exist. 
The playlist is created in the displayed directory.

• Playlist can not be overwritten. Once it is created, data remains. 
Therefore, the image can not displayed if it is additionally saved to the memory 
card that is on the playlist. In order to see added picture file, delete playlist.
NOTE
Playlist is editable on the PC. Display time and rotation information at the slide 
show can be set based on specifying settings. Of course it is possible to make 
certain file image undisplayable in a playlist deleting 1 line relating to the file from 
playlist. Also, it is possible to see added picture image based on adding picture 
image file name and pass name of destination to save in playlist.
[Example of adding image file] (Pass name/pass name/…/file name, display 
time, rotation information)
images/photo1/img001.jpg
images/photo1/img002.jpg, 2000
images/photo1/img003.jpg, 500, rot1
images/photo1/img004.jpg
images/photo1/img005.jpg, 500, rot2
The number after the extension is the slide show display time. It can be set 
between 0 and 999900. (ms) Least input increment is 100 ms. The end of display 
time means rotation information. 90 degrees clockwise rotation becomes rot1, rot2 
and rot3. (When no rotation, not specify or specify rot0.)
Display time and rotation information should be used “,” for separation.
• Maximum characters for the playlist in 1 line at playlist is 1024 
including linefeed. If it exceeds, playlist becomes invalid and error.
