Casio Ex Fc200s Users Guide

							151Using the Camera with a Computer
If you are running Mac OS X, you can manage snapshots using iPhoto, which comes 
bundled with some Macintosh products.
You can use QuickTime, which comes bundled with your operating system, to play 
back movies on a Macintosh. To play back a movie, first copy it to your Macintosh 
and then double-click the movie file.
.Minimum Computer System Requirements for Movie Playback
The minimum system requirements described below are necessary to play back 
movies recorded with this camera on a computer.
• The above are recommended system environments. Configuring one of these 
environments does not guarantee proper operation.
• Certain settings and other installed software may interfere with proper playback of 
movies.
.Movie Playback Precautions
Proper movie playback may not be possible on some Macintosh models. If you 
experience problems, try the following.
– Change the movie image quality setting to “STD”.
– Upgrade to the latest version of QuickTime.
– Shut down other applications that are running.
Even if proper playback is not possible on your Macintosh, you can use the AV cable 
(option) to connect to the video input terminal of a TV or Macintosh and play back 
movies that way.
IMPORTANT!
• Be sure to move the movie data to the hard disk of your Macintosh before trying to 
play it. Proper movie playback may not be possible for data accessed over a 
network, from a memory card, etc.

							152Using the Camera with a Computer
Internet registration only is supported. Visit the following CASIO website to register:

The camera creates a file each time you shoot a snapshot, record a movie, or 
perform any other operation that stores data. Files are grouped by storing them in 
folders. Each file and folder has its own unique name.
• For details about how folders are organized in memory, see “Memory Folder 
Structure” (page 153).
• You can view folder and file names on your computer. For details about how file 
names are displayed on the camera’s monitor screen, see pages 11 and 12.
• The total number of folders and files allowed depends on the image size and 
quality, and capacity of the memory card being used for storage.

The camera stores images you shoot in accordance with the Design Rule for Camera 
File System (DCF).
.About DCF
The following operations are supported for DCF-compliant images. Note, however, 
that CASIO makes no performance guarantees concerning these operations.
• Transferring this camera’s DCF-compliant images to another manufacturer’s 
camera and view them.
• Printing this camera’s DCF-compliant images on another manufacturer’s printer.
• Transferring another camera’s DCF-compliant images to this camera and view 
them.

.Supported Image Files
• Image files shot with this camera
• DCF-compliant image files
This camera may not be able to display an image, even if it is DCF-compliant. When 
displaying an image recorded on another camera, it may take a long time for the 
image to appear on this camera’s monitor screen.
.Built-in Memory and Memory Card Data Handling Precautions
• Whenever copying memory contents to your computer, you should copy the DCIM 
folder and all of its contents. A good way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders it to 
change their names to dates or something similar after you copy them to your 
computer. If you later decided to return a DCIM folder to the camera, however, be 
sure to change its name back to DCIM. The camera is designed to recognize only a 
root file with the name DCIM. Note the camera also will not be able to recognize the 
folders inside the DCIM folder unless they have the names they originally had 
when you copied them from the camera to your computer.
• Folders and files must be stored in accordance with the “Memory Folder Structure” 
shown on page 153 in order for the camera to be able to recognize them correctly.
• You also can use a PC card adapter or a memory card reader/writer to access 
camera files directly from the camera’s memory card.

Specifying the File Name Serial Number Generation Rule 
(File No.)
ContinueTells the camera to remember the last used file number. A new file will 
be named using the next sequential number, even if files are deleted or 
if a blank memory card is loaded. If a memory card is loaded and that 
card already has files stored on it and the largest sequential number in 
the existing file names is greater than the largest sequential number 
remembered by the camera, numbering of new files will start from the 
largest sequential number in the memory card file names plus 1.
ResetRestarts the serial number from 0001 whenever all files are deleted or 
when the memory card is replaced with a blank one. If a memory card 
is loaded and that card already has files stored on it, numbering of new 
files will start from the largest sequential number in the memory card 
file names plus 1.
