File Numbering Methods

3
The captured images are assigned a
sequential four-digit file number from 0001
to 9999 and saved in one folder. You can
change how the file number is assigned.
Continuous
Continues the file numbering sequence even after the card is
replaced or a new folder is created.
Even after you replace the card, create a folder, or switch the target
card (such as f9g), the file numbering continues in sequence up to
9999 for the images saved. This is useful when you want to save
images numbered anywhere between 0001 to 9999 on multiple cards or
in multiple folders into one folder on a computer.
If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images
recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images may continue
from the file numbering of the existing images on the card or in the
folder. If you want to use continuous file numbering, it is recommended
that you use a newly-formatted card each time.
