Description

When new picture is taken, file number is generated by adding one to last file number used. If picture is taken when current folder is full, new folder will be created by adding one to current folder number and file numbering will continue from last number used. File numbering will also continue from last number used if memory card is formatted or new memory card inserted in camera. If picture is taken when current folder contains picture numbered 9999, new folder will be created by adding one to current folder number and file numbering will begin again from 0001.

As above, except that file numbering is reset to 0001 when new folder is cre- ated, memory card is formatted, or new memory card is inserted in camera.

Clears last file number from memory. If memory card is formatted or empty memory card inserted before Reset is selected, file numbering will begin from 0001. If memory card already contains pictures, next file number will be generated by adding one to highest file number in current folder.

File Numbering

If file numbering reaches 9999 when the current folder contains a picture numbered 999, no more pictures can be taken until the memory card is formatted or a new card inserted, even if enough memory is available on the card to store more pictures.

Image File Names

Pictures are identified by file names with three parts: a four letter identifier, a four-digit file number, and a three-letter extension (e.g., “DSCN0001.JPG”). Identifiers are as- signed according to how the picture was created, extensions according to file type:
