Rename: Select a folder from the list and rename it as described on page 91.

DFolder Names

On the memory card, folder names are preceded by a three-digit folder number assigned automatically by the camera (e.g., 100D5200). Each folder can contain up to 999 photographs. During shooting, pictures are stored in the highest-numbered folder with the selected name. If a photograph is taken when the current folder is full or contains a photograph numbered 9999, the camera will create a new folder by adding 1 to the current folder number (e.g., 101D5200). The camera treats folders with the same name but different folder numbers as the same folder. For example, if the folder NIKON is selected for Storage folder, photographs in all folders named NIKON (100NIKON, 101NIKON, 102NIKON, etc.) will be visible when Current is selected for Playback folder (0 148). Renaming changes all folders with the same name but leaves the folder numbers intact. Selecting Delete deletes empty numbered folders but leaves other folders with the same name intact.

Auto Distortion Control

Gbutton Cshooting menu

Select On to reduce barrel distortion in photos taken with wide- angle lenses and to reduce pin-cushion distortion in photos taken with long lenses (note that the edges of the area visible in the viewfinder may be cropped out of the final photograph, and that the time needed to process photographs before recording begins may increase). This option does not apply to movies and

is available only with type G and D lenses (PC, fisheye, and certain other lenses excluded); results are not guaranteed with other lenses.
