File Numbering
If a photograph is taken when the current folder contains 999 photographs or a photo-
graph numbered 9999, a new folder will be created automatically by adding one to the
current folder number and file numbering will begin again from 0001, regardless of the
option chosen for Custom Setting 5.
The EH-5 AC Adapter
When the camera is powered by an optional EH-5 AC adapter, the monitor will power
off automatically after ten minutes, regardless of the setting chosen for Custom Setting
6 (Monitor Off). The camera exposure meter will not turn off while the AC adapter is
connected, regardless of the setting chosen for Custom Setting 7 (Auto Meter-Off).
Custom Setting 5: File No. Seq.
To ensure that the images in each folder have
unique names, the camera assigns each image a
file name containing a four digit number, starting
from 0001, and adds one to the file number with
each shot. Custom Setting 5 controls whether
the camera “remembers” the current file number
when a new memory card is inserted or the user
creates a new folder.

(default)
File numbering starts over from 0001 when the user creates a
new folder (
126). If a new memory card is inserted, a new
folder numbered 100 will be created with the first photograph
taken and file numbering will begin from 0001. Until a new
memory card is inserted or the user creates a new folder, file
and folder numbering will continue from the last numbers used.
