Using the Camera with a Computer
The camera creates a file 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 150).
• 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 pages 12 and 13.
• 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.
