FOLDER MANAGEMENT
The picture data on the memory card is stored in folders, which are
created automatically. The folder names always consist of eight
characters - three figures and five letters. In the factory default
setting, the first folder is named "100LEICA", the second "101LEI-
CA", etc. The next available number is always used as the folder
number, and a maximum of 999 folders are possible. If the number
capacity is exhausted, a corresponding warning message appears
in the monitor.
Within the folder, the individual pictures are given continuous num-
bers up to 9999 unless a the memory card in use already contains
a picture with a higher number than the last number assigned by
the camera. In such cases, the numbering used on the card is
continued. If the current folder contains picture number 9999, a
new folder is created automatically and the numbering begins
again at 0001. If folder number 999 and picture number 9999 are
reached, a corresponding warning message appears in the monitor
and the numbering must be reset (see below). This can be done by
formatting the memory card, or by using a different memory card.
On this camera you can also create new folders at any time, give
them names of your choice and change the file names.
