When a photograph is taken, the camera names the file by adding one to the last file
number used. This option controls whether file numbering continues from the last
number used when a new folder is created, the memory card is formatted, or a new
memory card is inserted in the camera.
In situations where the slightest camera movement can blur
pictures, select
On to delay shutter release until about 1 s after
the shutter-release button is pressed and the mirror is raised.

Option Description
On
When a new folder is created, the memory card formatted, or a new memory card
inserted in the camera, file numbering continues from the last number used or from
the largest file number in the current folder, whichever is higher. If a photograph is
taken when the current folder contains a photograph numbered 9999, a new folder
will be created automatically and file numbering will begin again from 0001.
Off
File numbering is reset to 0001 when a new folder is created, the memory card is
formatted, or a new memory card is inserted in the camera. Note that a new folder
is created automatically if a photograph is taken when the current folder contains
999 photographs.
Reset
Resets the file numbering for On to 0001 and creates a new folder with the next
photograph taken.
