MANAGING IMAGES
The image management capabilities of the camera make it
easy to keep track of images. You can protect images
against deletion, and even use its DPOF feature to specify
images for printing.
Folders and Files
When you shoot the first image on a particular day, the cam-
era automatically creates a folder for that date. All subse-
quent images you shoot on that day are stored in the same
folder.
•For full details about the organization of folders on the
memory card, see “Using a Memory Card to Transfer Im-
age Data”on page 149.
Folders
A folder is created automatically whenever you shoot the
first image on a particular date. The name assigned to the
folder is based on the current date, as described below. You
can have up to 900 folders on a memory card at the same
time (subject to storage capacity restrictions).
Example: Folder created on July 19, which is the 100th
folder on the memory card
•The actual number of files you will be able to store on a
memory card depends on the capacity of the card, image
quality settings, etc.

Files
Each folder can contain up to 250 image files. If you try to
save the 251st image to a folder, the camera automatically
creates a new folder and stores the image there. The names
assigned to files are based on the current date, as shown
below.
Example: 26th image shot on November 7
•In addition to image files, memory card also contains a
number of other files used by the system for image data
management.
•The actual number of files you will be able to store on a
memory card depends on the capacity of the card, image
quality settings, etc.
•Panorama images are stored as groups of multiple indi-
vidual images.
•If there are more than 250 image files in a folder (due to
copying from another digital camera or other source), only
the first 250 (in name sequence) can be played back.
