Abstract: A method and system for expanding the media types supported in a software controlled digital camera (110) which includes a view finder (348) for displaying a plurality of image cells corresponding to captured images. The method and system includes providing the digital camera with a first media type module (350) that defines a first media type originally supported by the digital camera. The digital camera is also provided with an application program interface that enables the software to access the first media type module. The method and system further includes loading a second media type module (354) into the digital camera that defines a second media type, wherein the second media type module is accessible by the software through the application program interface. After capturing an object with the digital camera, the second media type is associated with the object.

Abstract: A method for systematic generation of one or more image groups to relate a plurality of images as a single group includes providing an image command sequence. The image command sequence controls an image capture session and further includes a first command (700), the first command initiating the image capture session and formation of a first group, a plurality of parameters (702), the plurality of parameters characterizing the first group as one of at least two image capture group formats, and a second command (706), the second command ending the image capture session, wherein the image command sequence results in the single group of related images.

Abstract: A method and system for managing a removable memory (354) used in a digital camera (110). The method and system includes creating a camera folder (402) on the removable memory (354) corresponding to the digital camera when the removable memory is first inserted into the computer (118) of the digital camera. When images are captured, the images are stored only in the folder, such that the removable memory (354) can be used with more than one digital camera without image name conflicts.
