Changing the Naming System for Folders

When images are captured with this camera, a folder is automatically created and the captured images are stored in the new folder. Each folder name consists of a sequential number from 100 to 999 and a string of 5 characters. You can change the folder name in [Folder Name] of the [RSet-up 2] menu.

 

The two digits of the month and day on which the picture was taken

 

are assigned as the folder name in the form of [xxx_MMDD]. [MMDD]

Date

(month and day) appears according to the display format set in [Date
