Canon ECT1-1237-000 Continuous Numbering

MENU File Numbering Methods

If the last file number in the folder reaches 9999, the message on the right will appear on the LCD monitor and you will not be able to take any more pictures even if the CF card still has room. To continue taking

pictures, hold down the <> button and turn the

< > dial to select “OK.” A new folder will then be created and you can continue taking pictures which will be stored in the new folder.

To avoid this disruption in picture-taking, create a new folder and select it from the start (→p.54) or do a manual reset of the file numbering (→p.58) and select another folder to store subsequent images.

Continuous Numbering

This method enables the file numbering to continue in numeric sequence even after you change the folder for storing subsequent images or after you replace the CF card. This prevents any images from having the same file number. Therefore you can manage the images with a personal computer without confusion.

Note that if you start to store subsequent images into a another folder or CF card which already contains images captured with the camera, the file numbering will start after the highest file number in that folder or CF card.

File numbering after changing the folder		File numbering after changing the CF card

pictures, hold down the <> button and turn the

<> dial to select “OK.” A new folder will then be created and you can continue taking pictures. The continuous file numbering will start from 0001, and the subsequent images will be stored in the new folder.

To avoid this disruption in picture-taking, do a manual reset of the file numbering

(→p.58) beforehand or use auto reset and select another folder to store the images.
