FILE NUMBERING SYSTEM

Stored data is automatically assigned file numbers from 0001 to 9999. When data is being reviewed, the file number of each image is displayed in the right corner on the color LCD monitor (see P.70, 75). The file number is also incorporated into the filename of the image. The filename consists of “SDIM” followed by the 4-digit file number and extension. For example: image number 0023 will be stored in the file SDIM0023.X3F. All DP1 image files will be stored in the / ###SIGMA folder on the card.

File numbering can be continuous, or can be reset every time an empty card is detected. Use the Camera Set-up menu to set the file numbering system.

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Continuous

Numbering is continuous. The first file number assigned on an

(Default)

empty card will be one higher than the last assigned number.

 

(If the inserted card contains DP1 images with file numbers

 

greater than the last assigned number, file numbering will

 

continue with one higher than the highest file number on the

 

card.)

 

 

Auto Reset

Each time an empty card is inserted, or all images on the

 

current card are deleted, the file number will reset to its default

 

value of 0001. (If the inserted card already contains DP1

 

images, the file number will not be reset).
