ABSTRACT:
A digital photographic system comprises a digital camera having memory for storing digital images recorded by the camera and a personal computer having a disk operating system and a serial communication port. A software program permits the computer to access the memory in the digital camera through the serial communication port to make the memory appear as a disk to the operating system. The program includes a dynamic file directory for accessing and retrieving a file size from the memory, and a virtual file allocation table for indicating virtual captured image location in the memory computed from the file size retrieved by the dynamic file directory for creating the appearance of a file allocation table, which stores a location of captured datum for ultimately permitting said operating system to access the captured images.
