FILE NAME – Assigning a file name
The camera automatically creates file names and folder names for images to
be stored in. Files can be numbered from 0001 to 9999 and folders can be
numbered from 100 to 999. Examples are shown below.
There are two settings from which you can choose: RESET or AUTO.
Choose the one that is best for you when transferring images to a PC.
File name settings
RESET
The file number and folder number are reset every time a new
card is inserted in the camera. The folder number returns to No.
100 and the file number returns to No. 0001. This method is
useful when grouping files on separate cards.
AUTO
Even if a new card is inserted, the folder number and file number
are retained from the previous card, so the same file number is
not used on different cards. This helps you to manage multiple
cards. This method is useful when you want to manage all your
files with sequential numbers.
