Changing File Name

Settings (SEQUENTIAL

NO.)

When you shoot a still image, it is stored on an SD Memory Card or in internal memory, with a consecutively numbered file name automatically assigned.

When you are switching SD Memory Cards, you can set your camera to continue consec- utive numbering from the previously loaded SD Memory Card.

Possible Settings

ON (Continue numbering)

File names will be automatically assigned to still images you take, in the format of "R" followed by 7 digits, from R0010001.jpg to R9999999.jpg.

With this setting, even when one SD Memory Card is switched with another, consecutive file numbering from the previous card is continued.

OFF (Do not continue numbering) (Default)

Every time a new card is loaded, file numbering is assigned, from RIMG0001.jpg to RIMG9999.jpg.

If numbering exceeds RIMG9999, further recording is not possi- ble.

To make changes to file numbering, follow the steps below.

1. Turn the Mode Dial to 1 (Setup Mode).

The Setup Screen appears.

2. Press the " button to select [SEQUENTIAL NO.].

3. Press the #$ buttons to select the desired setting.

This setting will be used for shooting until you change it.

•When you are recording to internal mem- ory, file names are assigned just as when [SEQUENTIAL NO.] is set to [OFF].

•When transferring images to a computer, if a file already exists with the same name in the destination folder, your image is renamed before saving to avoid overwrite problem.

•When transferring images to a computer via RicohGate, the files are assigned names like RIMG****.jpg (xxxx indicates

the number of the image), even if	7
"SEQUENTIAL NO." is set to ON.

Extension

The characters "jpg" following the period in a file name are called the extension and indi- cate file's type. A type of "jpg" indicates that the file is in JPEG format. The extension is always separated from the file name by a period.

JPEG Files

This is read "Jay-Peg" file. This is one of the file formats used for saving image data. It is widely used when recording still images, its strong point being its small file size.
