Changing Image File Names

This section describes how to change the names of the image files displayed in
the Index window.Names can be changed automatically or manually.

2–19

Windows

Notes

• The file names of images displayed in a camera Index window can­not be changed automatically.

• If you change the file name, you will no longer be able to transfer the
image to the camera.

• Automatic Renaming

The Auto Rename function allows the names of image files in the Index window
to be changed by including the date and time and a specification code in the file
name. This can also be used to manage images shot on a camera so that file
names are not duplicated.

The example below illustrates how the file name suffixes change during automatic
renaming.For image data shot at 9.21 and 15 seconds on March 3rd 1999.
When "FUJI" is entered in the User Settings field, the file name changes as follows:

Date and time specified –> "FUJI1999_0303_092115AA.JPG"
Time only specified –> "FUJI092115AA.JPG"
Date only specified –> "FUJI1999_0303AA.JPG"

If a modification then produces the same name as already exists, the two-letter code
(specification code) added to the end of the file name is incremented automatically to
prevent file name duplication. Image files that are not Exif files or that do not have the date
and time of shooting recorded are automatically renamed using the time stamp* for the
file.

1. Select the image to be renamed by clicking on it.

You can rename multiple images at
one time by selecting multiple images.
To select multiple images, hold down
the Ctrl key as you click on the im­ages. You can also select all the im­ages by selecting Select All in the Edit

• 256 Color Display

If your monitor supports 256 colors, this option displays images in 256 colors. If
your monitor displays more than 256 colors, this option is not available. It is only
valid for monitors that display images in 256 or fewer colors.

Notes

1. Select 256 Color Display from the Option menu and select

ON or OFF.

If the number of colors specified in the Display Properties window on
your PC is 256, any image displayed in the Image window is
automatically reduced to 256 colors. When this occurs, note the
following:
(1) The image is printed in 256 Colors also.
(2) You cannot edit the image.
(3) When you save the image, it can only be saved in the BMP format.

To avoid these problems, set "256 Color Display" in the Option menu
to OFF and then display the image again.
Once you do this, you can:
(1) Print the image in full color.
(2) Edit the image.
(3) Save the image in the JPEG or TIFF format.
Note that though this detracts from the quality of the colors displayed
on the screen, it does not affect the image data itself.
