File Numbering Methods
152
The file numbering restarts 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 convenient if you want to organize images according to
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.
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 convenient if you want to use different folders for the images taken yesterday
and the ones taken today, for example. After the manual reset, the file numbering
returns to continuous or auto reset. (There will be no manual reset confirmation screen.)

If the file number in folder 999 reaches 9999, shooting will not be possible
even if the card still has storage capacity. The LCD monitor will display a
message telling you to replace the card. Replace it with a new card.
For both JPEG and RAW images, the file name will start with “IMG_”. Movie
file names will start with “MVI_”. The extension will be “.JPG” for JPEG
images, “.CR2” for RAW images, and “.MOV” for movies.
