∫Conditions under which a different

folder number is used

In the following cases, the picture is not recorded in the same folder as the previously recorded picture. It is recorded in a folder with a new number.

1When the folder just recorded to contains a picture file with the number 999 in it (example: P1000999.JPG).

2When the card just recorded to contains, for example, a folder with the number 100 [100_PANA] in it and that card is removed and replaced with a card that has a folder with the number 100 in it recorded by a camera from a different maker (100XXXXX, with XXXXX being the name of the maker) and then a picture is recorded.

3When recording after selecting [NO.RESET] (P24) from the [SETUP] menu. (Pictures will be recorded to a new folder with a number sequential to the folder recorded to immediately before. By using [NO.RESET] on a card that does not contain folders or pictures, such as one just formatted, the folder number can be reset to 100.)
