Files and folders on the memory card can be deleted using the computer. Do not change the name
of a file on the card or add a date to the card with a computer. Never format the memory card from
the computer; always use the camera to format the card (p. 58, 70).
The number in the image file name may not correspond to the frame number of the image on the
camera. As images are deleted on the camera, the frame counter will adjust itself to show the
number of images on the memory card and reassign the frame numbers accordingly. The file
numbers 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 file number in the folder.
When the file number 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 100MLT15 to 101MLT15. When a DPOF
file is created for a print order (p. 64), a misc. folder is automatically made for the file.
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 an image is opened in a image-processing application that does not support exif tag data,
and then the image is saved overwriting the original data, the exif tag information will be erased.
When using software other than the DiMAGE Viewer, always rename the image file to protect
the exif tag data.
