3File Numbering Methods

Auto Reset

Each time you replace the CF card, the file numbering will be reset to the first file number (0001). Since the file number starts from 0001 in each CF card, you can organize images according to CF card. Note that if the replacement CF card already contains images, the file numbering will start after the highest file number in that CF card.

File numbering after changing the CF card

CF card -1 CF card -2

XXX-0051XXX-0001

File number is reset

Manual Reset

This creates a new folder automatically and resets the file number to 0001. Images captured thereafter are saved in this new folder. The file numbering method (Auto reset or Continuous) that was in effect before the manual reset will continue to take effect.

If file No. 9999 is created, “FuLL” will be displayed on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder. Replace the CF card with a new one.

For both JPEG and RAW images, the file name will start with “IMG_”. The extension will be “.JPG” for JPEG images and “.CR2” for RAW images.
