Number of Folders

Additional time will be required for recording and playback if the memory card con- tains a very large number of folders.

Automatic Folder Creation

If the current folder contains 999 files, or if sequential file numbering ( 199) is on and the current folder contains a picture numbered 9999, the camera will automatically create a new folder for the next picture by adding one to the current folder number. If the memory card already contains a folder numbered 999, the shutter release will be disabled. If sequential file numbering is on, the shutter release will also be disabled if the current folder is numbered 999 and contains a picture numbered 9999. To con- tinue shooting, create a folder with a number less than 999, or select an existing folder with a number less than 999 and less than 999 images.

Creating a Folder at Startup

If the button is pressed when the camera is turned on, a new folder will be created by adding one to the current folder number if no empty folders already exist.
