The MDC .MDC file extension is a digital camera meta-information storage file, primarily associated with Minolta cameras. It is sometimes referred as Minolta Digitally Controlled Camera File. MDC files were created by Minolta to store additional digital camera and image data along with a digital image file in its own directory, which help keep the files organized and searchable. The associated digital image file type for MDC files is usually a RAW image type specific to the Minolta models that store metadata information.
Structure of an MDC File
MDC files are relatively small in size which holds metadata about an associated image file that was taken from the Minolta RD175 digital camera like the focal length, shutter speed, white balance settings, date/time taken, flash mode, etc. The structure of an MDC file is in a plain text format and can be opened and edited by text sorting applications such as Notepad. Although they only contain the data related to a certain image, other types of files like .HTML, .XML, .INI, .TXT, etc., sometimes also include similar information about associated media files.
Programs for LINUX system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MDC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .MDC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .MDC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .MDC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .MDC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MDC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MDC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .MDC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MDC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MDC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
