Memory Card Data

Images recorded with this camera and other data is stored
on the memory card using DCF (Design rule for Camera File
system) protocol. DCF protocol is designed to make it easier
to exchange image and other data between digital cameras
and other devices.

DCF Protocol

DCF devices (digital cameras, printers, etc.) can exchange
images with each other. DCF protocol defines the format for
image files data and the directory structure for the memory
card, so images can be viewed using another manufacturer’s
DCF camera or printed on a DCF printer.
In addition to support for the DCF protocol, your CASIO digi-
tal camera also shows dates in image folder names and im-
age file names, which helps to make data management
easier.
