Description
When the maximum number of files that can be saved is exceeded:
Maximum number of files
• When saving to folders, up to 5,000 files can be saved in one folder.
• When saving to the topmost directory (root directory) of the storage media, up to 512
files can normally be saved if the storage media (PC card) is formatted in FAT16 and up
to 5,000 files can normally be saved if the storage media (hard disk drive or large
capacity PC card) is formatted in FAT32.
The save operation differs depending on the [Directory Creation] settings.
• When [Directory Creation] is set to [On] and the number of files exceeds 5,000, a new
folder is created and files are stored in that folder.
• When [Directory Creation] is set to [Off] , a folder was specified for the save destination,
and the number of files exceeds 5,000, a new folder is created. However, if only the
storage media name was specified for the save destination (when saving to the root
directory, the topmost directory), a folder is not created.
