The images you shoot are automatically assigned file numbers. You
can select how the file number is assigned.
Up to 2000 images can be saved into one folder. A new folder
will automatically be created when you record more than that
number even if you are not creating new folders.
Resetting the File Number
Shooting Mode
Continuous
A number one higher than the last one recorded is assigned
to the next image. This is convenient for managing all your
images together on a computer because you avoid file
name duplication when changing folders or memory cards*.
* When a blank memory card is used. If a memory card with
recorded data is used, the 7-digit number for the last recorded
folder and image is compared with the last one on the card, and the
larger of the two is utilized as the basis for new images.
Auto Reset
The image and folder number are reset to the starting value
(100-0001)*.
This is convenient for managing images on a folder-by-
folder basis.
* When a blank memory card is used. If a memory card with
recorded data is used, the number following the 7-digit number for
the last recorded folder and image on the card is utilized as the
basis for new images.
