About DCF File Names
Most Sony brand digital still and video cameras automatically record
still images using DCF compliant directory and file names, as shown
in the following example:
Cyber-shot Cameras or Sony Brand Digital Camcorders
If you are using a Sony Cyber-shot camera (except models DSC-D700
and DSC-D770) or a Sony digital camcorder with Digital Still
capability (except models DCR-TRV-900 and DSR-PD100A), the
pictures on your Memory Stick are ready to be viewed on your TV.
Mavica Cameras
If you are using a Sony Mavica camera, you can view those pictures
by first using a PC to transfer the image files to a Memory Stick, and
then setting up the files in a DCF compliant file structure as shown
above. (Thumbnails, however, will not be available because Mavica
does not create them. This also means that the Index and Rotate
Picture functions will not work.)
✍
Important: If the source of images is not a Sony digital camera, or the
directory/filenames are modified with a computer using non-DCF compliant
software, the images may not be viewable on your TV. If you wish to view a
DCF compliant image imported to your Memory Stick, be sure to use the
same file structure used by Sony cameras (shown above).

To ensure that the
existing/imported JPEG files are
viewable on your TV, be sure to
store and maintain them in the
DCF compliant file structure
shown at right, with the JPEG
files inside the 100MSDCF
directory, and this directory
inside the DCIM main folder.
