File Numbering Methods

The images you take are automatically assigned a file number from 0001 to 9999 and saved in
a folder that can hold up to 100 images. The folders are numbered from 100 to 999 and saved
in the CF card. The automatic file numbering method can be set to [Continuous] or [Auto
reset].

Continuous Numbering

The file numbering continues in sequence even after you replace the CF card. Since this
prevents any images from having the same file number, it makes it easier to manage the
images with a personal computer.
Note that if the replacement CF card already
contains images captured with the camera,
the file numbering will start after the highest
file number in that CF card or after the last
captured image's file number, whichever is
higher.

Auto Reset

Whenever you replace the CF card, the file numbering will be reset to XXX-0001. Since the
image file number starts from 0001 in each CF card, you can use a different CF card for each
day of shooting. Then you can see how
many images you shot each day. Note that if
the replacement CF card already contains
images, the file numbering will start after the
highest file number in that CF card.
On the menu, select [File numbering].
