Assigning a file name
When you take a picture, the camera assigns it a unique file name and saves
it in a folder. The folder and file name can later be used for file handling on a
computer. File names are assigned as shown in the illustration below.

Even when a new card is inserted, the folder numbers are retained from the
previous card. If the new card contains an image file whose file number
coincides with one saved on the previous card, the new card’s file numbers
start at the number following the highest number on the previous card.
RESET
When a new card is inserted, folder numbers start at 100 and file numbers
start at 0001. If a card containing images is inserted, the file numbers start
at the number following the highest file number on the card.
