Depending on your camera model, you may have one or more of the following picture types in an image storage location. On a card, pictures are stored in the DCIM\camera folder.
u Pictures can be still, burst, or time-lapse.
u Still pictures are named DCP_nnnn.JPG, where nnnn represents a picture number between 0001 and 9999. Some camera models may use mmm_nnnn.JPG, where mmm is a picture location identifier between 000 and 999.
u Burst pictures are still pictures taken in rapid succession and are named Bmm_nnnn.JPG, where mm represents a burst sequence number from 00 to 99 and nnnn is a sequence number within the burst.
u Time-lapse pictures are a series of multiple still pictures taken over a designated period of time. Time-lapse pictures are saved in a folder that begins with the prefix TL, followed by the picture number of the first picture in the series.
u Video clips (movies) are named DCP_nnnn.MOV, VID_nnnn.MOV, or mmm_nnnn.MOV (depending on your camera model), where nnnn represents the video file number, mmm is a picture location identifier, and MOV or AVI indicates the file is a video.
The camera maintains separate and sequential numbering sequences for all pictures and videos in each storage location. For example, the first picture in each location is 0001 (DCP_0001.JPG, 000_0001.MOV, and so forth). For additional information on the numbering sequence, refer to the User�s Guide.
u If you transfer pictures or videos to the computer or delete these files from a storage location, all subsequent pictures use consecutive numbers. For example, if the last picture in a storage location was DCP_0007.JPG, the next picture is DCP_0008.JPG.
u If you use the camera Copy feature to copy pictures from one storage location to another, the copied files may be renumbered sequentially in the new location.
u The following apply to pictures stored on a card.
u When you insert a different card into your camera, the next picture number is derived by incrementing the higher of the last number used by the camera or the highest existing number in the folder on the card.
u When you insert the card into a different camera of the same model, the next number is derived by incrementing either the highest existing number or the highest number previously taken by that camera.
Once you take picture DCP_9999.JPG or video clip DCP_9999.MOV in the DCIM\100Kxxxx folder, subsequent files will appear in a new folder (DCIM\101Kxxxx) on the card, beginning with picture DCP_0001.JPG or video clip DCP_0001.MOV.
u If you use the card in a different digital camera and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file structure standard, the DCIM folder will contain a folder named by that camera. Any pictures taken with that camera are stored in the folder using the naming conventions established by the manufacturer. For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanied the camera.
u The following apply to pictures stored on the camera internal memory.
u When you format the internal memory, the numbering sequence restarts at DCP_0001.
u When the internal memory contains picture DCP_9999, the next number assigned will be the lowest unused number. For example, if the internal memory contains DCP_0002, DCP_0004, and DCP_9999, the next number assigned will be DCP_0003.
