Resetting the File Number

You can select the method which the camera uses to assign file numbers with the File No. Reset function.

The starting file number is reset to 100-0001 each time a new CF card is

inserted. New images recorded on previously recorded CF cards with

 

existing files are assigned the next available number.

Off

The file number of the last recorded image is saved so that the next

image recorded on any CF card, including a new one, is assigned the

 

next available number.

About File Numbers

Images are assigned individual frame numbers ranging from 0001 to 9900 and organized in folders containing up to 100 images. The folders are assigned names from 100 to 998. (Folder numbers cannot contain 99 in the last two digits.)

Since images shot in , or are always saved into the same folder, some folders may contain 101 or more images.
