MANAGING IMAGES

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 cam­era automatically creates a folder for that date. All subse­quent 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 Im­age 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.

123

MANAGING IMAGES

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 indi­vidual 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.

CONNECTING TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT

Your camera has three terminals for connection to external
equipment: a VIDEO OUT terminal, a DIGITAL terminal (re­mote shutter release terminal), and a USB port. You can use
these terminals to connect the camera to a television, VCR,
computer, or other external equipment. See page 103 for in­formation about the DIGITAL port (remote shutter release
terminal).

IMPORTANT!

equipment before making any connections.

• Check the documentation that comes with your other
equipment for information you may need to know
when making connections.

• Leaving the same image displayed on a television or
computer display screen for very long periods can
cause the image to be “burned in” on the screen.
When this happens, a faint after-image remains on the
screen, even after you disconnect the camera. To
avoid this, you should not leave the same image dis­played on such a screen for very long periods.

• This camera does not support cable transfer of data
with other CASIO digital cameras, portable tele­phones, etc.

Transferring Files to a Computer

The CD-ROM that comes bundled with your camera con­tains a copy of Photo Loader and a USB driver. This soft­ware lets you transfer the contents of the camera’s memory
to your computer quickly and easily. The Photo Loader and
Photohands applications can also be used for high-level im­age management and editing.

• For information about using Photo Loader and
Photohands, see their user documentation files (PDF) on
the bundled CD-ROM.

■ Transferring Files Over a USB Connection

You can transfer images to a computer with a USB port sim­ply by connecting the camera to the computer with the USB
cable.

• Note that you need to install a USB driver on your computer
the first time you try to connect. Once you use the cable to
establish a USB connection, the computer sees the cam­era as an external storage device (card reader/writer).

• If you plan to transfer file data from the camera’s built-in
memory to your computer, make sure there is no memory
card loaded in the camera. If there is, remove the memory
card from the camera before you connect the USB cable.

NOTE

• Do not install the USB driver from the CD-ROM onto a
computer running Windows XP, Mac OS 9, or Mac OS
X. With these operating systems, USB communication
becomes enabled simply by connecting the camera to
the computer with the USB cable.

nect the USB cable.

• For details, see “Terminating a USB Connection.”

IMPORTANT!

• Be sure to read the applicable information in the user
documentation that comes with your computer before
connecting the USB cable.

• Do not leave the same image displayed on your com­puter screen for a long time. Doing so can cause the
image to “burn in” on the screen.

• Take care when connecting the USB cable to the cam­era. The USB port and the cable plug are shaped for
proper positioning.

• Plug the USB cable into the ports securely as far as it
will go. Proper operation is not possible if connections
are not correct.

• The camera does not draw power over the USB cable.
Be sure to connect the AC adaptor to the camera for
power.

• The optionally available CASIO QC-1U USB cable
cannot be used with this camera.

• Never disconnect the USB cable while the PC is ac­cessing camera memory (indicated by a flashing USB
lamp). Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.

• You can perform USB data communication while the
camera is in a recording mode or in the Play Mode.

the USB cable from the camera and then turn off the camera.

Using a Memory Card to Transfer Image Data

In addition to the cable connections described in the previ­ous sections, you can also exchange data between your
camera and computer by reading it directly from the memory
card. The Photo Loader software that comes on the bundled
CD-ROM automatically reads the images from the memory
card and stores them in folders on your computer’s hard
disk.
The following provides general information about how to di­rectly read images from a memory card. Certain details may
be different depending on the type of computer you are us­ing.

■ Computer Equipped with a CompactFlash Card Slot

Simply insert the memory card into your computer’s
CompactFlash card slot.

149

CONNECTING TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT

■ Computer Equipped with a PC Card Slot

For this configuration, you will need to purchase a separately
available CASIO PC Card Adapter (CA-10). See the instruc­tions that come with the PC Card Adapter for information
about how to use it.

CA-10

■ Another Computer

To access the contents on the memory card on a computer
that does not have a CompactFlash card slot or PC card slot,
use a commercially available PC card reader/writer in combi­nation with a separately available CASIO PC Card Adapter
(CA-10). See the instructions that come with the PC card
reader/writer and the PC Card Adapter for information about
how to use them.

CA-10

Memory Card Data

Images recorded with this camera and other data is stored
on the memory card using DCF (Design rule for Camera File
system) protocol. DCF protocol is designed to make it easier
to exchange image and other data between digital cameras
and other devices.

DCF Protocol

DCF devices (digital cameras, printers, etc.) can exchange
images with each other. DCF protocol defines the format for
image file data and the directory structure for the memory
card, so images can be viewed using another manufacturer’s
DCF camera or printed on a DCF printer. In addition to sup­port for the DCF protocol, your CASIO digital camera also
uses dates in image folder names and image file names,
which helps to make data management easier.

Precautions when Using a Memory Card on a Computer

• This camera uses management files to manage the se­quence and attributes of image files. Because of this, if you
use your computer to modify or delete memory card files, to
change management file contents, or to change image file
sequence and attributes and then transfer the images back
to the camera, you may end up with the wrong image se­quence, ungrouped panorama images, and slow image
scrolling.

• Note that the folder named “DCIM” is the parent (top) folder
of all the files on a memory card. When transferring
memory card contents to a hard disk, floppy diskette, MO
disk, or other external storage, treat all the contents inside
a DCIM folder as a set and always keep them together.
Also, never use your computer to edit or delete the man­agement files (those whose file names have the extension
QVS) inside a DCIM folder. You can change the name of
the DCIM folder on your computer. Changing the name to a
date is a good way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders.
However, be sure you change the name of the DCIM folder
back to “DCIM” before you copy it back to a memory card
for playback on the camera. The camera does not recog­nize any folder name other than DCIM.

• The above is also true about the names of folders inside
the DCIM folder. These folders must be returned to the
names assigned to them by the camera whenever you
copy the folder back to the memory card for playback on
the camera.

• We also strongly recommend that after transferring data
from a memory card to other external storage you re-format
the memory card and delete its contents before using it to
record more images.

• The camera formats memory cards using ATA format,
which means that a Macintosh sees all memory card files
as text files. To view memory card files on a Macintosh, use
PC Exchange to associate the files on the memory card
(which are .JPG, .JPE, or .TIF files) with an application that
is able to open JPEG/TIFF files.

CONNECTING TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT

Using the HTML Card Browser

The camera’s Card Browser generates HTML files that let
you see a table of image thumbnails for easy selection. You
can also view the properties of each image.

• Card Browser files can be viewed using the Web browsers
listed below. Quick Time is required to view movie files on a
computer running Windows 2000 or 98.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or later
Netscape Communicator 4.5 or later

CONNECTING TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT

5.

Click the control button to apply it.

• When you turn on any Card Browser (Type 1 through

4), the camera creates a file named “INDEX.HTM” in­side the DCIM folder whenever you turn off camera
power. Other files are also created and stored on the
memory card at this time.

6.

Press MENU to exit the setting procedure.

NOTE

• The amount of time it takes for the camera to power
down depends on the number of files on its memory
card. If your card has a large number of files, we rec­ommend that you normally leave the Card Browser
turned off if you do not need to use it. The power down
routine performed by the camera is much shorter
when the Card Browser is turned off.

IMPORTANT!

• When the Card Browser is turned on, turning off cam­era causes the monitor screen goes blank, but the op­eration/card access lamp continues to flash for some
time as the camera internally creates Card Browser
files. Never perform any of the operations listed below
while the operation/card access lamp is flashing. Do­ing so not only stops creation of Card Browser files, it
can also result in corruption of the image data on the
memory card.

— Opening the memory card slot cover
— Unplugging the AC adaptor
— Opening the battery compartment cover
— Other actions similar to those above

• Note that Card Browser files may be corrupted if bat-

teries go low or if the memory card becomes full dur­ing file generation.

• You can specify the language for the Card Browser’s
on-screen text using the procedure under “Changing
the Menu Language” (page 132).

CONNECTING TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT

Viewing Card Browser File Contents

Use your computer’s Web Browser to view the contents of
the Card Browser files.

1.

Transfer the image data from the camera to
your computer by cable (page 147) or by ac­cessing the memory card from your computer
(page 149).

2.

On the memory card, open the folder named
“DCIM”.

3.

Use your Web browser to open the file named
“INDEX.HTM”.

• This displays a gallery of thumbnails for all the images
contained in the oldest image folder on the memory
card.

MANUAL

• Tapping an image on the INDEX screen or DATA
screen displays a 640 x 480-pixel version of the im­age. Clicking the full-screen images displays the im­age in the size at which it was recorded.

IMPORTANT!

• Slideshow images are displayed in full-screen size,
regardless of the size at which they were recorded.

• The thumbnail gallery uses the contents of the Pre­view Folder (page 151). Images copied from another
digital camera or a computer do not have preview im­ages associated with them, so their thumbnails do not
appear initially in the thumbnail gallery. If this hap­pens, scroll through the images on the camera’s moni­tor screen until the copied image appears. At this time,
the camera automatically generates a preview image,
which will now appear in the Card Browser thumbnail
gallery.

Saving Card Browser Files

• To save Card Browser files, use a USB cable connection
(page 147) or memory card transfer (page 149) to copy the
folder named “DCIM” on the memory card to a hard disk,
floppy diskette, MO disk, or other external storage. Never
use your computer to edit or delete files, to add new im­ages, or to delete images. Doing so will make it impossible
to view images normally using the Card Browser.

• You can use the Photo Loader application contained on the
bundled CD-ROM disc to save Card Browser files. See the
documentation that comes with Photo Loader on the CD­ROM for full details.

• We also strongly recommend that after transferring data
from a memory card to other external storage that you re­format the memory card and delete its contents before us­ing it to record more images.

this camera. This camera cannot read cards re­corded with such cameras.

1. Connect correctly using the video cable (page

137).

2. Check the documentation that comes with the
TV and set it up correctly for video input.

3. Select the video output mode that suits the type
of equipment you are using (page 138).

Unprotect the images you want to delete (page

125).

1. Select a different function or change to another
image.

2. Record an image to make the functions available.

Remove batteries and disconnect the AC adaptor if
you are using one. Restore power and turn the
camera on. If this does not work, contact your
dealer or an authorized CASIO service provider.

(excluding batteries)

• This camera does not have a separate battery to power its clock.
Clock settings are cleared whenever power to the camera is cut off
(by batteries going dead while the camera is not connected to an
AC power outlet with the AC adaptor) for about 24 hours. After
power is resumed, either by loading fresh batteries or connecting to
an AC power outlet, you will have to set the correct time and date
again.

• The liquid crystal panel built into this camera is the product of preci­sion engineering, with a pixel yield of 99.99%. This also means,
however that 0.01% of the pixels can be expected to fail to light or
to remain lit at all times.
