FOLDER MANAGEMENT

The picture data on the memory card is stored in folders, which are
created automatically. The folder names always consist of eight
characters - three figures and five letters. In the factory default
setting, the first folder is named "100LEICA", the second
"101LEICA", etc. The next available number is always used as the
folder number, and a maximum of 999 folders are possible. If the
number capacity has been used up, a corresponding warning
message appears in the monitor.
Within the folder, the individual pictures are given continuous
numbers up to 9999 unless a the memory card in use already
contains a picture with a higher number than the last number
assigned by the camera. In such cases, the numbering used on the
card is continued. If the current folder contains picture number
9999, a new folder is created automatically and the numbering
begins again at 0001. If folder number 999 and picture number
9999 are reached, a corresponding warning message appears in
the monitor and the numbering must be reset (see below).
On this camera you can also create new folders at any time, give
them names of your choice and change the file names.
