File Numbering Methods - Canon EOS 5D MARK III Instruction Manual

File Numbering Methods
The four-digit file number is like the frame
number on a roll of film. The captured images (Ex.) BE3B0001 .JPG
are assigned a sequential file number from
0001 to 9999 and saved in one folder. You can
change how the file number is assigned.
+_ Select [File numbering].
®_ Under the [_1] tab, select [File
numbering], then press <__>.
_+_ Select the file numbering method.
_ Turn the <O> dial to select the
desired setting, then press <8>.
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 _ -_ [_), the file numbering continues in sequence up to
9999 for the images saved. This is convenient when you want to save
images numbered anywhere between 0001 to 9999 in multiple cards or
folders into one folder in your personal 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 in the card or folder. If
you want to use continuous file numbering, you should use a newly-
formatted card each time.
