FILE MANAGEMENT
The file management capabilities of the camera make it easy
to keep track of images. You can protect files against dele-
tion, and even use its DPOF feature to specify images for
printing.
Folders
Your camera automatically creates a directory of folders in
its built-in flash memory or on the memory card to store im-
ages.
Memory Folders and Files
An image you record is automatically stored in a folder,
whose name is a serial number. You can have up to 900
folders in memory at the same time. Folder names are gen-
erated as shown below.
Example: Name of the 100th folder.
Each folder can hold files numbered up to 9,999.
Trying to store the 10,000th file in a folder causes the next
serially numbered folder to be created. Folder names are
generated as shown below.
Example: Name of the 26th file

• The actual number of files you will be able to store on a
memory card depends on the image quality settings, ca-
pacity of the card, etc.

rectory Structure” on page 94.

DPOF
The letters “DPOF” stand for “Digital Print Or-

a memory card or other medium which digital
camera images should be printed and how
many copies of the image should be printed.
Then you can print on a DPOF-compatible
printer or at a professional print service in ac-
cordance with the file name and number of
copies settings recorded on the card.
With this camera, you should always select images by view-
ing them on the monitor screen. Do not specify images by file
name without viewing the file contents.

PRINT Image Matching II
Images include PRINT Image Matching
II data (mode setting and other camera
setup information). A printer that sup-
ports PRINT Image Matching II reads
this data and adjusts the printed image
accordingly, so your images come out
just the way you intended when you re-
corded them.
*SEIKO EPSON Corporation holds the copy-
right for PRINT Image Matching and PRINT
Image Matching II.
Exif Print
Exif Print is an internation-
ally supported, open stan-
dard file format that makes it
possible to capture and dis-
play vibrant digital images
with accurate colors. With
Exif 2.2, files include a wide
range of shooting condition
information that can be inter-
preted by an Exif Print
printer to produce better-
looking prints.
IMPORTANT!
• Information about the availability of Exif Print compat-
ible printer models can be obtained from each printer

•The snapshot image or movie that you select as the
startup image is stored in a special memory location
called “startup image memory.”Only one image can
be stored in startup image memory. Selecting a new
startup image overwrites anything that is already
stored in startup image memory. Except for the
camera’s built-in startup image, if you want to return to
a previous startup image, you need to have a separate
copy of that image in the camera’s standard image
storage memory.
