total number of images in a folder is less than 2000 because the following types of
images are always saved together into the same folder.
- Images from continuous shooting • Self-timer images (custom)
• Images cannot be played back when the folder numbers are duplicated or image
numbers are duplicated within folders.
• Please refer to the Software Starter Guide for information regarding folder structures
or image types.
