Resetting the File Numbers

You can select the way file numbers are assigned.

The file numbers are reset to the start (100-0001) each time a new CF card is inserted. New

On

images recorded on CF cards with existing files are assigned the next available number.

The file number of the last image to be shot is memorized so that images recorded to a new

Off

CF card start from the next number.

1 In the [ (Set up)] menu, select [File No. Reset].

See Selecting Menus and Settings (p. 36).

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.
