Y ouTube mode.

y _AUCT. Captured images using the

Auction mode are saved in this f older.

y _UTUBE. Captured videos using the

YouTube mode are saved in this folder.

Folder name begins with a 3-digit number
from 100 to 999 and followed by “DICAM” or
“_AUCT” or “UTUBE”, each folder holds up
to 9999 files. If new files are made, a new
folder named in sequence will be made
automatically.

53

File Naming

File name begins with “DSCI” and are followed by a 4-digit number that increases in
sequence. File numbering starts from 0001 when a new folder is created.

If the highest folder number is 999 and highest file number exceeds 9999, the camera
will display the warning message “Folder cannot be created”. When it appears, try one of
the following ways:

y Reset the file number and plug in a new memory card.
