File Numbering Methods
Auto Reset
When you wish to restart the file numbering from 0001 each time
the card is replaced or a new folder is created.
When you replace the card or create a folder, the file numbering
restarts from 0001 for the new images saved. This is useful if you want
to organize images by cards or folders.
If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images
recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images may
continue from the file numbering of the existing images on the card or
in the folder. If you want to save images with the file numbering starting
from 0001, use a newly formatted card each time.

Manual Reset
When you wish to reset the file numbering to 0001 or to start from
file number 0001 in a new folder.
When you reset the file numbering manually, a new folder is created
automatically and the file numbering of images saved to that folder
starts from 0001.
This is useful, for example, if you want to use different folders for the
images taken yesterday and the ones taken today.
