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 96).
• 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 10.
• 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).
