Picture Naming Conventions
! Pictures are named 100_nnnn.JPG, and are numbered in the order in
which they are taken. The first picture is named 100_0001.JPG; the highest
number allowed is 100_9999.JPG.
! When a card contains a picture named 100_9999.JPG in the
\DCIM\100K6440 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder
(\DCIM\101K6440), beginning with picture 101_0001.JPG.
! Even if you transfer pictures to the computer or delete pictures from the
camera, the camera continues to use consecutive numbers for all
subsequent pictures. For example, if the last picture taken was
100_0007.JPG and you delete it, the next picture you take is named
100_0008.JPG.
! When you insert a different card into your camera, the next picture number
is defined by incrementing the higher of the last picture taken by the
camera, or the highest existing picture number in the folder.
! If you use the card in a camera other than the Kodak EasyShare DX6440
zoom digital camera, and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file
structure standard, the \DCIM folder contains a folder named by that
camera. For more information, refer to the documentation that
accompanied that camera.
Burst Pictures
When a burst series is initiated, a letter “B” replaces the underscore in the file
name. When a burst series is initiated or ended, the second digit to the left of
the decimal is incremented by 1.
