Nikon D40 manual File No. Sequence, Mirror Lock-Up, Firmware Version, File Numbering

File No. Sequence

Choose how the camera names files.

•Off (default): File numbering is reset to 0001 when a new folder is created, the memory card is formatted, or a new memory card is inserted.

•On: File numbering continues from the last number used after a new folder is created, the memory card is formatted, or a new

memory card is inserted. If a photograph is taken when the current folder contains a pho- tograph numbered 9999, a new folder will be created and file numbering will begin again from 0001.

•Reset: As for On, except that file numbering is reset to 0001 with the next photograph taken (if the current folder already contains photographs, a new folder will be created).

File Numbering

If the current folder is numbered 999 and contains 999 photographs or a photograph numbered 9999, the shutter release will be disabled and the monitor and viewfinder displays will show that the card is full. If File no. sequence is on, turn it off and format the memory card or insert another memory card in the camera.
