File Numbering System
The pictures you take are automatically assigned file numbers from 0001 to 9900 and stored in
folders of 100 images each. Each folder on the CF card is numbered from 100 to 998.
Automatic file numbering can be either by continuous numbering or auto reset numbering (the
default setting is continuous numbering):
(1) Continuous:
Numbering is continuous between cards, so that
the first file number assigned on a new CF card is
one more than the last file number assigned on
the previous CF card.
(2) Auto reset:
Each time you insert a new CF card, the file
number resets to its default value (Img_0001). If
the card already contains files, the next available
number is assigned.
1 From the menu, select [File num-
bering].
● Press the < MENU> button.
● Turn the < > dial to select [File Number-
ing], then press the < > button.
2 Select the setting you want.
● Turn the < > dial to select [Continuous] or
[Auto reset], then press the < > button.
➡ The selection is entered, and the display
returns to the menu.
● Press the < MENU> button to clear the
screen and exit the menu.
● File numbers are used the same way as frame numbers in a film camera.
● For details about file numbers, see “Basic Terminology” ( → 129).
● During continuous shooting, more than 101 images might be stored in a folder.
Because continuous numbering avoids duplication of image file numbers, this
setting is convenient for processing images on computers.
