About Folders

As with "100CANON" for example, the folder name starts with three digits
(folder number) followed by five alphanumeric characters. A folder can
contain up to 9999 images (file number 0001 - 9999). When a folder
becomes full, a new folder with the folder number increased by one is
created automatically. Also, if manual reset (p.209) is executed, a new
folder will be created automatically. Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can
be created.
Creating Folders with a Personal Computer
Open the card on the screen, and create a new folder named "DCIM". Open
the DCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and
organize your images. The folder name must follow the format
"100ABC_D". The first three digits are the folder number, from 100 to 999.
The next five characters can be any combination of upper- and lower-case
letters from A to Z, numerals, and the underscore "_". The space cannot be
used. Also note that two folder names cannot share the same three-digit
folder number (for example, "100ABC_D" and "100W_XYZ"), even if the
other five characters in each name are different, since the camera cannot
recognize the folders.
With the folder selection screen
displayed, select a folder and press
<0>.
The folder where the captured
images will be saved is selected.
Subsequent captured images will be
recorded into the selected folder.
