FILE MANAGEMENT
The file management capabilities of the camera make it easy
to keep track of images. You can protect files against dele-
tion, and even use its DPOF feature to specify images for
printing.
Folders
Your camera automatically creates a directory of folders in
its built-in flash memory or on the memory card to store im-
ages.
Memory Folders and Files
An image you record is automatically stored in a folder,
whose name is a serial number. You can have up to 900
folders in memory at the same time. Folder names are gen-
erated as shown below.
Example: Name of the 100th folder.
Each folder can hold files numbered up to 9,999.
Trying to store the 10,000th file in a folder causes the next
serially numbered folder to be created. Folder names are
generated as shown below.
Example: Name of the 26th file
Extension
CIMG0026.JPG
Serial number (4 digits)
The actual number of files you will be able to store on a
memory card depends on the image quality settings, ca-
pacity of the card, etc.
For details about the directory structure, see Memory Di-
rectory Structure on page 92.

USING A MEMORY CARD
74
USING A MEMORY CARD
You can expand the storage capabilities of your camera by
using a commercially available memory card (SD memory
card or MultiMedia Card). You can also copy files from built-
in flash memory to a memory card and from a memory card
to flash memory.
Normally, files are stored in built-in flash memory. When
you insert a memory card, however, the camera automati-
cally stores files to the card.
Note that you cannot save files to built-in memory while a
memory card is installed in the camera.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or
removing a memory card.
Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it.
Never try to force a memory card into the slot when
you feel resistance.
See the instructions that come with the memory card
for information about how to use it.
Though the camera also supports use of an MMC
(MultiMediaCard) in place of an SD memory card, the
data processing speed in the case of an MMC is much
slower than that for an SD memory card. Because of
this, we recommend that you choose an SD memory
card whenever possible.
SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which
you can use to protect against accidental deletion of
image data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD
memory card, you must remove write protection
whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete
any of its files.
USING A MEMORY CARD
75
Using a Memory Card
To insert a memory card into the camera
1.
Making sure that the
contacts of the memory
card are facing towards
the top of the camera,
carefully insert the card
into the slot as far as it
will go.
To remove a memory card from the camera
1.
Press the memory card
into the camera and then
release it. This will cause
the card to come part way
out of the camera.
2.
Pull the memory card out
of the slot.
IMPORTANT!
Never insert any other object besides a memory card
into the cameras card slot. Doing so creates the risk
of damage to the camera and card.
If you are not using a memory card, be sure to insert
the dummy card into this slot to protect against dust
and damage.
The dummy card is intended for use with this camera
only. Never insert it into the card slot of any other type
of device.
Should water or any foreign object ever get into the
card slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove the
battery, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO
authorized service provider.
Never remove a card from the camera while the op-
eration/flash charge lamp is flashing. Doing so can
cause the files save operation to fail, and even dam-
age the memory card.

Formatting a Memory Card
Formatting a memory card deletes any data already stored
on it.
IMPORTANT!
Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card.
Formatting a memory card on a computer and then
using it in the camera can slow down data processing
by the camera. In the case of an SD card, formatting
on a computer can result in non-conformity with the
SD format, causing problems with compatibility, op-
eration, etc.
Note that data deleted by a memory card format op-
eration cannot be recovered. Check to make sure you
do not need any of the data on the memory card be-
fore you format it.
Formatting a memory card that contains files deletes
all the files, even those that are protected (page 65).
1.
Load the memory card into the camera.
2.
Turn on the camera. Next, enter the REC mode
or PLAY mode and press MENU.
3.
Select the Set Up tab, select Format, and
then rock the controller to the right.
4.
Rock the controller up or down to select
Format, and then click.
To exit the format operation without formatting, select
Cancel.

Copying Files
Use the procedures below to copy files between built-in
memory and a memory card.
To copy all the files in built-in memory to
a memory card
1.
Load the memory card into the camera.
2.
Turn on the camera. Next, enter the PLAY
mode and press MENU.
3.
Select the PLAY
tab, select Copy,
and then rock the
controller to the right.
Memory Card Precautions
Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMediaCard with this
camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed when any
other type of card is used.
Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenom-
ena can cause data to become corrupted or even lost. Al-
ways make sure that you always back up important data on
other media (MO disc, computer hard disk, etc.)
If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can re-
store normal operation by reformatting it. However, we rec-
ommend that you always take along more than one
memory card whenever using the camera far away from
the home or office.
We recommend that you format a memory card before us-
ing it for the first time after purchasing it, or whenever the
card you are using seems to be the cause of abnormal im-
ages.
Before starting a format operation, check to make sure that
the battery is fully charged. Power interruption during the
format operation can result in improper formatting, and
even damage the memory card and make it unusable.

nection, the computer sees the camera as an external stor-
age device (card reader/writer).
If you plan to transfer files from the camera’s built-in
memory to your computer, make sure there is no memory
card loaded in the camera. If there is, remove the memory
card from the camera before you place it onto the cradle.
NOTE
Do not install USB driver from the CD-ROM onto a
computer running Windows XP, or Mac OS 9 or Mac
OS X. With these operating systems, USB communi-
cation becomes enabled simply by connecting the

5.
Turn off the camera
and remove its
connector cover.
6.
Making sure that the
camera is turned off,
set it onto the USB
cradle.
Do not place the
camera onto the USB
cradle while it is turned
on.
7.
Turn on the camera.
When you turn on the camera, it enters the USB Mode
and automatically transfers the files in camera
memory to the computer.
While the camera is in the USB Mode, the USB lamp
on the cradle lights green (page 107).
IMPORTANT!
• Be sure to read the applicable information in the user
documentation that comes with your computer before
connecting the USB cradle.
Do not leave the same image displayed on your com-
puter screen for a long time. Doing so can cause the
image to “burn in” on the screen.
Take care when connecting the USB cable to the USB
cradle. The USB port and the cable plug are shaped
for proper positioning.
Plug the USB cable into the ports securely as far as it
will go. Proper operation is not possible if connections
are not correct.
• Be sure to connect the AC adaptor to the USB cradle
to supply power to the camera.
The optionally available CASIO QC-1U USB cable
cannot be used with this camera.
• Never disconnect the USB cable while the PC is ac-
cessing camera memory (indicated by a flashing USB
lamp). Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.
You can perform data communication in either the
REC mode or PLAY mode.

Using a Memory Card to Transfer Images
to a Computer
The procedures in this section describe how to transfer im-
ages from the camera to your computer using a memory
card.
Using a Computer with a Built-in SD Memory Card Slot
Insert the SD memory card directly into the slot.
Using a Computer with a Built-in PC Card Slot
Use a commercially available PC card adapter (for an SD
memory card/MMC). For full details, see the user documen-
tation that comes with the PC card adapter and your com-
puter.

Using a Commercially Available SD Memory Card
Reader/Writer
See the user documentation that comes with the SD memory
card reader/writer for details about how to use it.
Using a Commercially Available PC Card Reader/Writer
and PC Card Adapter (for SD Memory Cards and MMCs)
See the user documentation that comes with the PC card
reader/writer and PC card adapter (for an SD memory card/
MMC) for details about how to use them.
Memory Data
Images recorded with this camera and other data are stored
in memory using DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System)
protocol. DCF protocol is designed to make it easier to ex-
change 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 camera format
for image file data and the directory structure for camera
memory, so images can be viewed using another
manufacturer’s DCF camera or printed on a DCF printer.

Image Files Supported by the Camera
Image files recorded with the CASIO EX-S1/EX-M1 Digital
Camera
DCF protocol image files
Certain DCF functions may not be supported. When display-
ing an image recorded on another camera model, it may take
a long time for the image to appear on the display.
Built-in Memory and Memory Card
Precautions
Note that the folder named “DCIM” is the parent (top) folder
of all the files in memory. When transferring memory con-
tents to a hard disk, MO disk, or other external storage,
treat all the contents inside a DCIM folder as a set and al-
ways keep them together. You can change the name of the
DCIM folder on your computer. Changing the name to a
date is a good way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders.
However, be sure you change the name of the DCIM folder
back to “DCIM” before you copy it back to memory for play-
back on the camera. The camera does not recognize any
folder name other than DCIM.
We also strongly recommend that after transferring data
from memory to other external storage that you reformat
memory and delete its contents before using it to store
more files. Remember that formatting memory deletes all
of its contents. Check to make sure that you no longer need
any of the files in memory before you format it.
