The number in the image file name may not correspond to the frame number of the image. As
images are deleted in the camera, the frame counter will adjust itself to show the number of images
on the card and reassign the frame numbers accordingly. The serial numbers used with image files
will not change when an image is deleted. When a new image is recorded, it will be assigned a
number one greater than the largest serial number in the folder. File serial numbers can be con-
trolled with the file-number-memory function in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 94).

Image files contain Exif tag data. This data includes the time and date the image was recorded as
well as the camera settings used. This data can be viewed with the camera or the DiMAGE Viewer
software.
well as the camera settings used. This data can be viewed with the camera or the DiMAGE Viewer
software.
If a camera image is opened in an image-processing application that does not support Exif tags,
and then the image is saved overwriting the original data, the Exif tag information is erased. Some
Exif compatible applications rewrite the Exif data preventing the DiMAGE Viewer from reading it.
When using software other than the DiMAGE Viewer, always make a backup copy of the image files
to protect the Exif tag data.

To view images correctly on your computer, the monitor’s color space may need to be adjusted.
Refer to your computer manual on how to calibrate the display to the following requirements: sRGB,
with a color temperature of 6500K, and a gamma of 2.2. Changes made to the captured image with
the camera’s contrast controls will affect any color-matching software in use.

Copy images (p. 82) are placed in a folder with a name
ending in “CP.” E-mail Copy images are placed in a fold-
er ending in “EM.” When a new folder is created, the
first three digits in the folder name is one greater than
the largest folder number on the card. When the index
number in the image file name exceeds 9,999, a new
folder is created with a number one greater than the
greatest folder number on the memory card: e.g. from
100KM022 to 101KM022. A new folder is created every
time the copy function is used.
