Renaming Files Transferred to the mc3 Device

WINDOWS-Based Computers

When you transfer media files to your Picture Card, the mc3 device limits the number of characters you can use in the filename to 8.3. Before you transfer a file to the device, check the filename. If it is more than 8.3 characters, either let WINDOWS software rename the file or rename the file yourself.

IMPORTANT: Do not rename media files stored on the Picture Card.

Names must follow DOS-format and can contain up to eight characters (A through Z) and numbers (0 through 9), followed by the three-character extension. You cannot use spaces or the following symbols:

  • Period (.)
  • Slash (/)
  • Brackets ([ ])
  • Semicolon (;)
  • Equal sign (=)
  • Quotation marks (" ")
  • Backslash (\)
