You can select the method for assigning the folder names for storing images. The default setting is [Date].

Date	are assigned as the folder name in the form of [xxx_MMDD]. [xxx] is
	a sequential number from 100 to 999.
	(Example) 101_0125: for folders with pictures taken on January 25th
PENTX	The folder name is assigned in the form of [xxxPENTX].
	(Example) 101PENTX

	in the [A Rec. Mode] menu. (p.236)

Camera Settings

	The file number of the last image saved to the previous folder is saved
O (On)	and subsequent images are assigned sequential file numbers even if
	a new folder is created.
P (Off)	The file number of the first image saved to a folder returns to 0001
	each time a new folder is created for saving images.

When the number of storable images exceeds 500, captured images are divided into folders of 500 images each. However, in Auto Bracket, images will be stored in the same folder until shooting is completed, even if the number of images exceeds 500.
