DELETING FILES
You can delete a single file, or you can delete all files
currently in memory.

when deleting all files, make sure you check all the
files you have stored before proceeding.
•A protected file cannot be deleted. To delete a
protected file, unprotect it first (page 105).
•Delete cannot be performed when all the files in
memory are protected (page 106).

FILE MANAGEMENT
The file management capabilities of the camera make it
easy to keep track of images. You can protect files against
deletion, and even use its DPOF feature to specify images
for printing.
Folders
Your camera automatically creates a directory of image
storage folders in its built-in Flash memory or on the
memory card.
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
generated 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
Extension

Serial number (4 digits)
•The actual number of files you will be able to store on a
memory card depends on the image quality settings,
capacity of the card, etc.
•For details about the directory structure, see “Memory
Directory Structure”on page 146.

DPOF
The letters “DPOF”stand for “Digital Print
Order Format”, which is a format for
recording on 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 accordance with the file name
and number of copies settings recorded on
the card.
With this camera, you should always select images by
viewing them on the monitor screen. Do not specify images
by file name without viewing the file contents.

Exif Print
Exif Print is an
internationally supported,
open standard file format
that makes it possible to
capture and display vibrant
digital images with accurate
colors. With Exif 2.2, files
include a wide range of
shooting condition
information that can be
interpreted by an Exif Print
printer to produce better-
looking prints.
IMPORTANT!
•Information about the availability of Exif Print
compatible printer models can be obtained from each
printer manufacturer.
PRINT Image Matching II
Images include PRINT Image Matching
II data (mode setting and other camera
setup information). A printer that
supports 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 recorded them.
*Seiko Epson Corporation holds the
copyright for PRINT Image Matching and
PRINT Image Matching II.

Using USB DIRECT-PRINT
Your camera supports USB
DIRECT-PRINT, which was
developed by Seiko Epson
Corporation. When connected
directly to a printer that supports
USB DIRECT-PRINT, you can
select images to be printed and
start the print operation directly
from the camera.
DPOF settings (page 106) are used
to determine which images and how
many copies should be printed.
IMPORTANT!
•Use of the optionally available AC adaptor (AD-C30)
is required when performing a USB DIRECT-PRINT
operation.
