DATE FORMAT FOLDER
All recorded images are stored in folders on the memory card. Folder names come
in two formats: standard and date. These are selected in the custom 1 section of
the setup-mode menu (page 114 of the DiMAGE 7 manual).
Standard folders have an eight character name. The initial folder is named
100MLT14. The first three digits are the folder’s serial number, which will increase
by one each time a new folder is created. The next three letters refer to Minolta,
and the last two numbers indicate the camera used; 14 indicates an upgraded
DiMAGE 7.
A date folder name also starts with the three digit serial number and is followed by
one register for the year, two register for the month, and two registers for the day:
100YMMDD. The folder 10120720 was created in 2002 on July 20th.
With the date folder format selected, when an image is recorded a new folder with
the day’s date will be created. All images recorded that day will be placed in that
folder. Images recorded on a different day will placed in a new folder with the cor-
responding date. To playback the images in a different folder, that folder must be selected. When a
new folder is created, the serial number in the image-file name is reset to 0001 unless file number
memory is active. For more information on folder organization and file names, see page 118 of the
DiMAGE 7 manual.
