Options
[Reset]: MP4 clip/photo numbers will restart from 100-0001 every time you insert a new SD card. If an
SD card already contains previous recordings, numbers will continue from the number following
that of the last MP4 clip or photo on the SD card.
[Continuous]: MP4 clip/photo numbers will continue from the number following that of the last MP4 clip or
photo recorded with the camera. This setting is the most convenient for managing files on a
computer. We recommend using the [Continuous] setting.
Operating modes:
Understanding folder names
• An example folder name is "101_1025". The first 3 digits indicate the folder number (from 100 to 999) and
the last 4 digits indicate the month and day when the folder was created. In the example, the folder
numbered 101 was created on October 25.
Understanding MP4 clip/photo numbers
• An example number is "101-0107". The first 3 digits indicate the folder number the recording is stored in
and the last 4 digits indicate the consecutive number assigned to the recording (from 0001 to 9999).
• The recording’s number also indicates the name and location of the file on the SD card. For example, an
MP4 clip/photo numbered 101-0107 that was recorded on October 25, is located in the “DCIM\ 101 _1025”
folder as the file “MVI_ 0107 .MP4” (for an MP4 clip) or “IMG_ 0107 .JPG” (for a photo).
