Image and audio file names begin with “PICT” followed by a four-digit file number and a tif, mrw, jpg,
jpe, mov, or thm extension.Voice-memo files have a wav extension and the file name corresponds to
its image file.The thumbnail images (thm) are used in camera and DiMAGE Viewer operation.
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 file 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 100MLT16 to 101MLT16.
The file number on the image file may not correspond to its frame number on the camera. 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 file numbers on the image files will not
change when an image is deleted. When a new image is recorded, it will be assigned a number one
greater than the largest file number in the folder. File numbers can be controlled with the file-number-
memory function in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 136).
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 that does not support Exif tags,
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 rename the image file 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.
Although it is recommended to format a CompactFlash card with the camera, a card can be for-
matted with a computer.The card must be formatted on a Windows system using a FAT, or
FAT32 file system.
