File Numbering
The captured images saved in a folder are assigned a file number from 0001 to 9999. You can change how the image files are numbered.
(Example)
(1) File number
-
Select [
: File numbering].
-
Set the item.
- Select [Numbering].
- Select [Continuous] or [Auto reset].
- Select [OK] to create a new folder, and the file number will start with 0001.
Caution
- If the file number in folder 999 reaches 9999, shooting will not be possible even if the card still has storage capacity. The screen will display a message telling you to replace the card. Replace it with a new card.
Continuous
When you wish to continue the file numbering sequence even after the card is replaced or a new folder is created.
Even after you replace the card or create a new folder, the file numbering continues in sequence up to 9999. This is useful when you want to save images numbered anywhere between 0001 to 9999 on multiple cards or in multiple folders into one folder on a computer.
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 use continuous file numbering, it is recommended that you use a newly-formatted card each time.

Auto Reset
When you wish to restart the file numbering 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 useful if you want to organize images by 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.

Manual Reset
When you wish 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 useful, for example, if you want to use different folders for the images taken yesterday and the ones taken today.
