Resetting the file name (FILE NAME)

The camera automatically creates file names and folder names for images to be stored in. Files can be numbered from 0001 to 9999 and folders can be numbered from 100 to 999. Examples are shown below.

There are two settings from which you can choose: [RESET] or [AUTO]. Choose the one that is best for you when transferring images to a computer.

RESET The file number and folder number are reset every time a new card is inserted in the camera. The folder number returns to No. 100 and the file number returns to No. 0001. This method is useful when grouping files on separate cards.

AUTO Even if a new card is inserted, the folder number and file number are retained from the previous card, so the same file number is not used on different cards. This helps you to manage multiple cards. This method is useful when you want to manage all your files with sequential numbers.

Note

•When the File No. reaches 9999, the File No. returns to 0001 and the Folder No. changes.

•When both the Folder and File No. reach their respective maximum number (999/9999), the number of storable pictures becomes 0 even if the card is not full. No more pictures can be taken. Replace the card with a new one.
