Still images are stored in the Dcim
folder. The image-file name
begins with “pict” followed by a
four-digit number and a JPEG or
TIFF extension.
Movie clips are stored in
the MLTM folder. The
image-file name begins
with “clip” followed by a
four-digit number and an
avi extension.
Once the camera is connected to the computer, image files can be accessed by sim-
ply double clicking on icons. Copying images can be done by dragging and dropping
the image-file icon into a location in the computer.
The index number on the image file may not correspond to the frame number of the
image. As images are deleted on the camera, the frame counter will adjust itself to
show the number of images on the CompactFlash card and reassign the frame num-
bers accordingly. The index numbers on the 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 index number in the folder.
When the index number in the image file name exceeds 9,999, a new folder will be
created; the folder number will increase by one from 100MLT06 to 101MLT06 or from
100CLP06 to 101CLP06. The “06” in the folder name indicates the images were
recorded with a DiMAGE E201 camera; a different Minolta camera will create a fold-
er with a different number.

DiMAGE E201 EXIF UTILITY
Installing the DiMAGE E201 Exif Utility software is simple. Drag
the software icon from the CD-ROM window and drop it into the
location where it will be stored. The software requires no installa-
tion routine or procedure.
The Exif Utility allows the view-
ing of date, time, and shooting
information of still images.
Double click on the utility icon;
an open-file window will
appear. Use the look-in box to
locate the image-file folder.
Click on an image file to high-
light it and then click “Open;”
the Exif-information window will
open.
The window will show the date and time of capture, the shutter speed and aperture
value used for the exposure, the amount of exposure compensation, the camera
sensitivity, and if the flash was used. To close the window, click on the “X.”
