3File Numbering Methods
Auto Reset
The file numbering restarts from 0001 each time the card is replaced or a new folder is created.
When you replace the card, create a folder, or switch the target card (such as f→ g), the file numbering restarts from 0001 for the new images saved. This is convenient if you want to organize images according to cards or folders.
However, if the replacement card or existing folder already contains images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images may 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 card each time.

Manual Reset
To reset the file numbering to 0001 or to start from file number 0001 in a 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 if 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. (There will be no Manual reset confirmation screen.)
If the file number reaches 9999 in folder 999, shooting will not be possible even if the card still has storage capacity. A message explaining the need to replace the card will appear on the LCD monitor. Replace the card with a new one.
