Image file names begin with “PICT” followed by a four-digit file number and a jpg or mov extension.
The jpg extension indicates a still image, and the mov extension, a movie clip.
E-mail Copy images are placed in a folder ending in “EM.” 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 100KM015 to
101KM015.
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
number one greater than the largest serial number in the folder. File serial numbers can be con-
trolled with the file-number-memory function in section 2 of the advanced recording menu (p. 58).
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 an image-processing application that does
not support Exif tags, and then the image is saved overwriting the original data, the Exif tag
information is erased. Some Exif compatible applications rewrite the Exif data preventing the
DiMAGE Viewer from reading it. 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 colour 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 colour temperature of 6500K, and a gamma of 2.2.
