Using the EOS Rebel XS/1000D
bering returns to Continuous or
Auto reset, based on what you
used previously. The Manual reset
option is handy if you want the
camera to create separate folders
for images that you take over a
span of several days.
On the XS/1000D, up to 999 folders can be
created with up to 9,999 images stored in
each folder. If you reach these capacities, a
message appears telling you to change the
SD/SDHC card even if there is room remain-
ing on the card. Until you change the SD/
SDHC card, the camera will not let you take
another picture. If you run into this problem,
there is nothing wrong with the camera; you
just need to replace the current SD/SDHC
card, regardless of the space remaining on it.
To change the fi le-numbering method on
the XS/1000D, follow these steps:
1.
Press the Menu button, and then
turn the Main dial to select the
Set-up 1 (yellow) menu.
2.
Press the up or down cross key to
select File numbering, and then
press the Set button.
Three fi le
numbering options, Continuous,
Auto reset, and Manual reset,
appear with the current setting
highlighted.
3.
Press the down cross key to
select the fi le-numbering option
you want, and then press the Set
button.
The option you choose
remains in eff ect until you change
it, with the exception of Manual
reset, as noted previously.
the card. If you want to continue
continuous numbering, insert only
formatted/empty SD/SDHC cards
into the camera. The advantage of
continuous numbering is that fi les
have unique fi lenames up to image
number 9999, and this makes man-
aging and organizing images on the
computer easier because you don’t
have to worry about having images
with the same fi lename on your
computer up to image number
9999.

Auto reset.
With this option, fi le
numbering restarts at 0001 each
time you insert a diff erent SD/
SDHC card. If the SD/SDHC card
has images stored on it, then num-
bering continues from the highest
image number stored on the card.
So if you want the images to
always begin at 0001 on each SD/
SDHC card, then be sure to insert
freshly formatted SD/SDHC cards
each time you replace a card. If you
like to organize images by media
card, this is a useful option.
However, if you use this option, be
aware that multiple images that
you store on the computer will
have the same number or fi lename.
Be sure to create separate folders
on the computer and follow scru-
pulous folder organization to avoid
fi lename confl icts and potential
overwriting of images that have the
same fi lename.

Manual reset.
With this option, the
camera creates a new folder on the
SD/SDHC card, and images are
saved to the new folder starting at
0001. After Manual reset, fi le num-
