Restarting the File Numbering From 0001 Each Time the Card is Replaced or a New Folder is Created (Auto Reset)Setting the File Numbering to 0001 Manually (Manual Reset)
The captured images are assigned a sequential four-digit file number from 0001 to 9999 and saved in one folder. You can change how the file number is assigned.
By default, even after you replace the card or create a new folder, the file numbering continues in sequence up to 9999 ( [Continuous] ). If you want to save images with the file numbering starting from 0001, perform [Auto reset] or [Manual reset].
Restarting the File Numbering From 0001 Each Time the Card is Replaced or a New Folder is Created (Auto Reset)
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.
