Changing The Way File Names Are Assigned To Recorded Images (File Name Setting); Folder Names And File Names; Assiging Folder Names And File Names In Each Mode - Olympus CAMEDIA C-2040 Zoom Instructions Manual

Changing the way file names are assigned to recorded images (File Name setting)

You can use the procedure below to select the way image file names are recorded.
If you select "AUTO", the files are managed so that file names are not duplicated
when you download pictures to your personal computer. Images are recorded
using automatically generated numbers as the file and folder names. Files are
numbered from 0001 to 9999, and folders are numbered from 100 to 999. You can
select either "RESET" or "AUTO" as the settings for both folders and files.

Folder names and file names

Recorded pictures are assigned folder names and file names according to
the following format:
\ D C I M \ * * * O L Y M P \ P m d d * * * * . j p g
* The notation used for "Month" in folder names is 1-9 for January to
September, and then A for October, B for November and C for December
Assigning folder names and file names in each mode
RESET
When you change the cards, the folder and file names are reset.
(Example)
Folder No.102
AUTO
When you change the cards, the camera continues to use the same folder
name, and the file name continues on from the last number recorded on the
previous card.
(Example)
Folder No.101
This prevents the duplication of file numbers (file names) when you copy large
numbers of images individually to your computer from different cards. However,
note that the numbering restarts at 0001 once you reach 9999.
