3File Numbering Methods

Auto Reset

The file numbering restarts from 0001 each time the memory card is replaced or a new folder is created.

Whenever the memory card is replaced or a new folder created, the file numbering starts from 0001. This is convenient if you want to organize images according to memory cards or folders.

If the replacement memory card or existing folder already contains images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or folder. If you want to save images with the file numbering starting from 0001, use a newly formatted memory card each time.

Manual ResetThe file numbering starts from 0001 in the new folder.

When you reset the file numbering manually, a new folder is created automatically and the file numbering of images saved to that folder starts from 0001. This is convenient when you want to use different folders for the images taken yesterday and the ones taken today, for example. After the manual reset, the file numbering returns to continuous or auto reset.

If the folder number is 999 and the file number reaches 9999, you will not be able to take any more pictures even if the memory card is not full. A message asking you to replace the memory card will appear on the LCD monitor. Either replace the memory card or switch to the other memory card in the camera.
