Once the camera is connected to the computer, image and audio files can
be accessed by double clicking on icons. Image folders are located in the
DCIM folder. The misc. folder contains DPOF print files (p. 70). To copy
images and audio recordings, simply drag and drop the file icon into a loca-
tion in the computer.
Files and folders on the memory card can be deleted using the com-
puter. Never format the memory card from the computer; always use
the camera for formatting. Only files recorded by the camera should be
stored on the memory card.

Image and audio file names begin with “PICT” followed by a four-digit file number and a jpg, or mov
extension. Audio-caption files have a wav extension and the file name corresponds to their image
file. Audio recordings also use the wav extension. Movie clips and audio-recording files are accom-
panied by thumbnail (.thm) files. To copy images, simply drag and drop the file icon into a location
in the computer.
When a new folder is created, the first three digits in the folder name is 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 is created with a number one greater than the greatest folder number on the card: e.g. from
100KM033 to 101KM033.
The number in the image file name may not correspond to the frame number of the image. The seri-
al numbers used with image files will not change when an image is deleted. When a new image is
recorded, it is assigned a number one greater than the largest serial number in the folder. File serial
numbers can be controlled with the file-number-memory function in section 3 of the setup menu (p.
73).
To view images correctly on your computer, the monitor’s color space may need to be adjust-
ed. Refer to your computer manual on how to calibrate the display to the following require-
ments: sRGB, with a color temperature of 6500K, and a gamma of 2.2.
