Notes on Using Memory Stick Media
About DCF File Names
Most Sony brand digital still and video cameras automatically record still photo and movie
files using DCF-compliant directory and file names.
If you selected the
Digital Camera Folders
option, as described on page 34, you might want
to have your digital camera’s instruction manual handy in order to check how files and
directories are organized for your specific model of digital camera.
DCF stands for “Design Rules for Camera File Systems,” which are specifications established
by the Japan Electronic Industry Development Association (JEIDA).
