Additional Functions

Resetting the File Number

This function resets the file number that is automatically assigned to a new image as it is recorded. Successive numbers are automati- cally assigned.

When a CF Card Contains Previously Recorded Images

After the reset, the first new image is assigned the number of the last recorded image plus one.

When the CF Card Contains No Previously Recorded Images

After the reset, the first new image is assigned the number one.

Standard File Number Assignment Method

The camera records the number of the last image that was recorded. When an image is next shot, it adds one to the previous number to create the new file number. However, if there are images already on the CF card that have higher file numbers, the camera adds one to the highest number on the CF card to avoid duplication. This means that a particular camera will not create two images with the same file number. As a result, the file numbers on a particular CF card may not be consecutive if other cards have been used in between recording sessions with that card.
