File Name - Olympus Stylus 500 Advanced Manual

File name

The camera automatically creates file names and folder names for images
to be stored in. Files can be numbered from 0001 to 9999 and folders can
be numbered from 100 to 999. Examples are shown below.
Month: Jan. – Sep. = 1 – 9, Oct. = A, Nov. = B, Dec. = C
There are two settings from which you can choose: [RESET] or [AUTO]. Choose the
one that is best for you when transferring images to a computer.
RESET The file number and folder number are reset every time a new card is
inserted in the camera. The folder number returns to No. 100 and the file
number returns to No. 0001. This method is useful when grouping files
on separate cards.
AUTO Even if a new card is inserted, the folder number and file number are
retained from the previous card, so the same file number is not used on
different cards. This helps you to manage multiple cards. This method is
useful when you want to manage all your files with sequential numbers.

Note
• When the File No. reaches 9999, the file number returns to 0001 and the folder
number changes.
• When both the Folder and File No. reach their respective maximum number
(999/9999), the number of storable pictures becomes 0 even if the card is not
full. No more pictures can be taken. Replace the card with a new one.
