File Numbering Methods

3
The 4-digit file number is like the frame number
on a roll of film. The captured images are
assigned a sequential file number from 0001 to
9999 and saved to one folder. You can also
change how the file number is assigned.
Continuous
Continues the file numbering sequence even after the memory
card is replaced or a new folder is created.
Even after you replace the memory card or create a new folder, the file
numbering continues in sequence up to 9999. This is convenient when you
want to save the images numbered anywhere between 0001 to 9999 in
multiple cards or folders into one folder in your personal computer.
If the replacement memory card or existing folder already contains
images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might
continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or
folder. If you want to save images with continuous file numbering, use a
newly formatted memory card each time.
