About the File Configuration
When you connect the camera to a PC, images shot using the camera appear as follows:
[XXXTOSHI]
This denotes that the images in the folder were shot
using a Toshiba camera. A folder number between
100 and 999 is allocated according to the
circumstances.
Still images
File names are in the GSC_XXXX.jpg format
(where XXXX is a number between 0001 and
9999). The “.jpg” file extension indicates that the
image is a JPEG-format (see “Glossary” p.198)
file.
Photographed images are saved in the Exif format
(see “Glossary” p.197).
Videos (with sound)
File names are in the GSC_XXXX.mpg format (where XXXX is a number between 0001
and 9999). The “.mpg” file extension indicates that the video is an MPEG-format (see
“Glossary” p.198) file.
The “.thm” file extension indicates that the file is a video thumbnail.
System files
The “.xml” file extension indicates that the file contains information on the connection
between the camera and the PC.
IMPORTANT
• “.xml” files contain album information.
Deleting an “.xml” file will cause part of the software to malfunction. Do not delete
“.xml” files.
Folder Configuration for Image Backups
When you back up your camera images onto a PC,
the images are stored in the “My Pictures” folder in
the configuration shown below.
The names of the folders created inside My
Pictures include data such as the camera model
and image information. When you use the
synchronize function to back up images to a PC,
these folder names are used as keywords.
For this reason, you should not change the folder
configuration or the names of the saved image files.
