File Numbering

Your shots are automatically numbered in sequential order (0001 – 9999)

and saved in folders that store up to 2,000 images each. You can change

how the camera assigns file numbers.

Choose [File Numbering], and then

choose an option.

Continuous

Images are numbered consecutively (until the 9999th

shot is taken/saved) even if you switch memory cards.

Auto Reset

Image numbering is reset to 0001 if you switch memory

cards, or when a new folder is created.

Regardless of the option selected in this setting, shots may be
numbered consecutively after the last number of existing images
on newly inserted memory cards. To start saving shots from 0001,
use an empty (or formatted,

=

117) memory card.

The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be
less than the advertised capacity.

Low-Level Formatting

Perform low-level formatting in the following cases: [Memory card error] is

displayed, the camera is not working correctly, card image reading/writing

is slower, continuous shooting is slower, or movie recording suddenly

stops. Low-level formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before low-

level formatting, copy images on the memory card to a computer, or take

other steps to back them up.

On the screen in step 2 of “Formatting

Memory Cards” (

=

117), press the

[ ][ ] buttons to choose [Low Level

Format], and then press the [ ][ ]

buttons to select this option. A [ ] icon is

displayed.

Follow steps 2 – 3 in “Formatting Memory

Cards” (

=

117) to continue with the

formatting process.

Low-level formatting takes longer than “Formatting Memory
Cards” (

=

117), because data is erased from all storage regions

of the memory card.

You can cancel low-level formatting in progress by choosing
[Stop]. In this case, all data will be erased, but the memory card
can be used normally.
