3File Numbering Methods

The file number is like the frame number on a roll of film. The captured images are assigned a sequential file number from 0001 to 9999 and saved in one folder. You can change how the file number is assigned. The file number will appear on the personal computer in this format: IMG_0001.JPG.

Under the [5] tab, select [File numbering], then press <0>. Follow the steps below to select a file numbering method, then press <0>.

[Continuous]: The file numbering continues in sequence even after the card is replaced.

Even after you replace the card, the file numbering continues in sequence up to 9999. This is convenient when you want to save the images numbered anywhere between 0001 to 9999 in one folder in your personal computer.

However, if the replacement card contains images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card. If you want to use continuous file numbering, you should use a newly-formatted card each time.
