Using the Camera with a Computer

The camera creates a file and saves it each time you shoot a snapshot, record a
movie, or perform any other operation that stores data. Files are grouped by storing
them in folders. Each file and folder has its own unique name.

• For details about how folders are organized in memory, see “Memory Folder

Structure” (page 118).

• You can view folder and file names on your computer. For details about how file

names are displayed on the camera’s monitor screen, see page 147.

• The total number of folders and files allowed depends on the image size and

quality, and capacity of the memory card being used for storage.
