About Folders
As with "100EOS1D" for example, the folder name starts with three digits (the
folder number) followed by five alphanumeric characters. A folder can contain
up to 9999 images (file number 0001 - 9999). When a folder becomes full, a
new folder with the folder number increased by one is created automatically.
Also, if manual reset (p.165) is executed, a new folder will be created
automatically. Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can be created.
Creating Folders with a Personal Computer
With the card open on the screen, create a new folder named "DCIM". Open
the DCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and
organize your images. The folder name must follow the format "100ABC_D".
The first three digits are the folder number, from 100 to 999. The final five
characters can be any combination of upper- and lower-case letters from A to
Z, numerals, and the underscore "_". The space cannot be used. Also note
that two folder names cannot share the same three-digit folder number (for
example, "100ABC_D" and "100W_XYZ"), even if the other five characters in
each name are different.
3 Creating and Selecting a Folder
With the folder selection screen
displayed, turn the <5> dial to select
the desired folder, then press <0>.
The folder where the captured
images will be saved is selected.
Subsequent captured images will be
recorded into the selected folder.
