Chapter 12
Locating Pictures and Videos on a Card
Pictures stored on SD/MMC Cards use a standard agreed upon by many camera
manufacturers. This lets you use the cards in different cameras. If you use a
card reader to retrieve your files, the following file structure may be helpful.
MISC folder
—
contains the order files created when you use the Share
feature to tag files for printing, emailing, and as favorites.
SYSTEM folder
—
used for updating camera firmware.
DCIM folder
—
root level folder, contains the 100K4530 folder. When you
turn on the camera or insert a different card, empty folders in the DCIM folder
are removed.
100K4530 subfolder
—
contains all the pictures on the card.
Card File Naming Conventions
m
Pictures are named 100_nnnn.JPG, and are numbered in the order in
which they are taken. The first picture is named 100_0001.JPG; the highest
number allowed is 100_9999.JPG.
m
When a card contains a picture named 100_9999.JPG in the
\DCIM\100K4530 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder
(\DCIM\101K4530), beginning with picture 101_0001.JPG.
m
Even if you transfer pictures to the computer or delete pictures from the
camera, the camera continues to use consecutive numbers for all
subsequent pictures. For example, if the last picture taken was
100_0007.JPG and you delete it, the next picture you take is named
100_0008.JPG.
m
When you insert a different card into your camera, the next picture number
is defined by incrementing the higher of the last picture taken by the
camera, or the highest existing picture number in the folder.
m
If you use the card in a camera other than the Kodak EasyShare DX4530
zoom digital camera, and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file
structure standard, the \DCIM folder contains a folder named by that
camera.
