Would the "root" folder on a Nikon D40 really be one named "NIKON D40", or wouldn't the "DCIM" folder actually appear in the topmost directory of the file system, which commonly has no name. Possibly "NIKON D40" is the default name of medium itself (e.g. memory card or built-in flash drive)?

that it exactly my experience with d40x, a very similar camera. -- Sverdrup (talk) 14:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This article makes absolutely no sense. Under *NIX OSes the root directory is /root, clearly that's not what they mean. Under DOS-based systems the highest level is the drive letter, with the "root directory" above that represented as the third "/" in "file:///C:/..." This article is more confusing that it is helpful.Skintigh (talk) 20:45, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

Merge the silly Camera filename structure here, not to Exif. Dicklyon (talk) 01:51, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MISC

Usually in digital camera SD cards there's also a folder called MISC. What's that? its always empty... I never see anything inside it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.160.46 (talk) 23:37, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to be for DPOF data. bruce89 (talk) 01:30, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
