When a photograph is taken, the camera names the file by adding one to the last file
number used. This option controls whether file numbering continues from the last
number used when a new folder is created, the memory card is formatted, or a new
memory card is inserted in the camera.

At the default setting of Off, shutter is released when the shutter-release button is
pressed. In situations where the slightest camera movement can blur pictures, On
can be selected to delay shutter release until about 1 s after the shutter-release
button is pressed and the mirror is raised.

Description

On

When a new folder is created, the memory card formatted, or a new memory card
inserted in the camera, file numbering continues from the last number used or
from the largest file number in the current folder, whichever is higher. If a
photograph is taken when the current folder contains a photograph numbered
9999, a new folder will be created automatically and file numbering will begin
again from 0001.

Off

File numbering is reset to 0001 when a new folder is created, the memory card is
formatted, or a new memory card is inserted in the camera. Note that a new
folder is created automatically if a photograph is taken when the current folder
contains 999 photographs.

K Reset

Same as for On, except that the next photograph taken is assigned a file number
by adding one to the largest file number in the current folder. If the folder is
empty, file numbering is reset to 0001.

File Number Sequence

If the current folder is numbered 999 and contains either 999 photographs or a photograph
numbered 9999, the shutter-release button will be disabled and no further photographs can
be taken. Choose Reset for Custom Setting d4 and then either format the current memory
card or insert a new memory card.
