Resetting the File Number

You can select the way file numbers are assigned.

On	File number is reset to the start (100-0001) each time a new CF card is inserted. New images recorded on
	CF cards with existing files are assigned the next available number.
Off	The file number of the last image to be shot is memorized so that images recorded to a new CF card start
	from the next number.

1	In the [	(Rec.)] menu, select [File No.
	Reset].
	• See Selecting Menus and Settings (p. 39).

2 Select [On] or [Off] and press the button.

• Setting the [File No. Reset] to [Off] is useful for avoiding file name duplication when images are downloaded to a computer.

About File Numbers

•Images are assigned file numbers from 0001 to 9900 and organized in folders usually containing up to 100 images. Folders are assigned numbers from 100 to 998.

101	0101	0102	0199	0200

Folder numbers cannot contain 99 in the last two digits.

Since images shot in continuous mode or Stitch Assist mode are always saved in the same folder, some folders may contain 101 or more images.
