d6: File Number Sequence

When a photograph is taken, the camera names the file by adding one to the last file number used. This option controls whether file numbering continues from the last number used when a new folder is created, the memory card is formatted, or a new memory card is inserted in the camera.

Description

 

When a new folder is created, the memory card

 

formatted, or a new memory card inserted in the

 

camera, file numbering continues from the last number

On

used or from the largest file number in the current

folder, whichever is higher. If a photograph is taken

(default)

when the current folder contains a photograph

 

numbered 9999, a new folder will be created

 

automatically and file numbering will begin again from

 

0001.

 

File numbering is reset to 0001 when a new folder is

 

created, the memory card is formatted, or a new

Off

memory card is inserted in the camera. Note that a

new folder is created automatically if a photograph is

 

 

taken when the current folder contains 999

 

photographs.

 

 

 

Same as for On, except that the next photograph taken

J Reset

is assigned a file number by adding one to the largest

file number in the current folder. If the folder is empty,

 

 

file numbering is reset to 0001.
