# Chapter 5. Exploring and Fine Tuning

OK, you should be set up and ready to do some exploring. Go take some trash pictures with your camera in all the different formats. Mine will take in 4 formats, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, and MPEG, and it also provides a thumbnail of each picture. In my Sony P-50 these will be stored on the memory media in 4 different sub-folders, 100msdcf, imcif100, thm, and moml0001. These are in 2 folders, dcim, and mssony. You need to find how your camera names the directories. You can do this in the following manner:

- Copy the above script file to a working file name.

- With your text editor change line: `mv /mnt/camera/dcim/100msdcf/*.jpg picture/$DIRPATH` to `mv /mnt/camera/* picture/$DIRPATH`

- Run the script from a command line as follows:

      [bash]$ ./your_script_file_name

  (notice the dot and forward slash)
