Image and audio file names begin with “PICT” followed by a four-digit file number and a jpg, mov.
Voice-memo and audio caption files have a wav extension and the file name corresponds to their
image file.
E-mail Copy images are placed in a folder ending in “EM.” Favorite Copy images are placed in a fold-
er named “FAVORITE.” When a new folder is created, the first three digits in the folder name will be
one greater than the largest folder number on the card.When the index number in the image file
name exceeds 9,999, a new folder will be created with a number one greater than the greatest folder
number on the memory card: e.g. from 100MLT19 to 101MLT19.
The number in the image file name may not correspond to the frame number of the image. As
images are deleted in the camera, the frame counter will adjust itself to show the number of images
on the card and reassign the frame numbers accordingly.The serial numbers used with image files
will not change when an image is deleted.When a new image is recorded, it will be assigned a num-
ber one greater than the largest serial number in the folder. File serial numbers can be controlled
with the file-number-memory function in section 2 of the recording-mode menu (p. 57).
Image files contain exif tag data.This data includes the time and date the image was recorded
as well as the camera settings used.This data can be viewed with the camera or the DiMAGE
Viewer software. If a camera image is opened in a photo-retouching application like Adobe
Photoshop, and then the image is saved overwriting the original data, the exif tag information is
erased.When using software other than the DiMAGE Viewer, always make a backup copy of
the image files to protect the exif tag data.
To view images correctly on your computer, the monitor’s color space may need to be adjusted.
Refer to your computer manual on how to calibrate the display to the following requirements:
sRGB, with a color temperature of 6500K, and a gamma of 2.2. Changes made to the captured
image with the camera’s contrast and color-saturation controls will affect any color-matching
software in use.
