• Low-level formatting takes longer than “Formatting Memory Cards” (=74), 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.

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.

zzChoose [File Numbering], and then choose an option.

Images are numbered

Continuous consecutively (until the 9999th shot is taken/saved) even if you

switch memory cards.

Image numbering is reset to 0001 Auto Reset 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 (=74)) memory card.

•Refer to the Software Guide (=17) for information on the card folder structure and image formats.

Date-Based Image Storage

Instead of saving images in folders created each month, you can have the camera create folders each day you shoot to store shots taken that day.

zzChoose [Create Folder], and then choose [Daily].

XXImages will now be saved in folders created on the shooting date.

Lens Retraction Timing

The lens is normally retracted for safety about one minute after you press the <1> button in Shooting mode (=23). To have the lens retracted immediately after you press the <1> button, set the retraction timing to [0 sec.].

zzChoose [Lens Retract], and then choose [0 sec.].
