Solution

Changing how the camera assigns file numbers
Date-based image storage

Your shots are automatically numbered in sequential order (0001 – 9999) and saved in folders that store up to 2,000 images each. Folder numbers can also be created separately based on the shooting date.

Caution

Folder numbers are assigned based on the date set in the camera. Confirm beforehand that the date and time are correct.

Changing how the camera assigns file numbers

In the camera's default settings, shots are numbered sequentially in the order they were taken. You can change how the camera assigns file numbers.

The procedure for changing the file numbering method is explained below.

1. Press the power button to turn the camera on.

2. Press the ⋖MENU⋗ button.

3. When the menu screen is displayed, touch [ : File Numbering].

4. Touch either [Continuous] or [Auto Reset] to choose the desired option when the screen below is displayed.

The details of the individual setting options are shown below.

Continuous	Images are numbered consecutively (until the 9999th shot is taken/saved) even if you switch memory cards.
Auto Reset	Image numbering is reset to 0001 if you switch memory cards, or when a new folder is created.

5. After selecting the desired option, press the ⋖⋗ button.

Caution

Regardless of the option selected in this setting, shots may be numbered consecutively after the last number of existing images on newly inserted memory cards. To start saving shots from 0001, use an empty (or formatted) memory card.

Date-based image storage

2. Press the ⋖MENU⋗ button.

3. When the menu screen is displayed, touch [ : Create Folder].
