(2) Number of images in folder
(3) Lowest file number
(4) Highest file number
Select a folder on the folder selection screen.
Captured images are stored in your selected folder.
Note
Folders
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 (
) is executed, a new folder will be created
automatically. Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can be created.
Creating folders with a 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 always the folder number from 100 to 999. The last 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 remaining five characters in each name are different.
