Adjus ing Basic Camera Functions

File Numbering

Your shots are automatically numbered in sequential order (0001 – 9999)
and saved in folders that store up to 2,000 images each. You can change
how the camera assigns file numbers.
• Regardless of he op ion selected in this setting, shots may be numbered
consecutively after the last number of exis ing images on newly inserted
memory cards. To start saving shots from 0001, use an empty (or formatted
(= 1 46)) memory card.
• Refer to he Software Guide (= 2 5) for information on he card folder
structure and image formats.
Date-Based Image Storage
Instead of saving images in folders created each month, you can have the
camera create folders each day you shoot to store shots taken that day.
