When a photograph is taken, the camera names the file by adding one to the last file 
number used. This option controls whether file numbering continues from the last 
number used when a new folder is created, the memory card is formatted, or a new 
memory card is inserted in the camera.

Description
On
When a new folder is created, the memory card formatted, or a new memory card 
inserted in the camera, file numbering continues from the last number used or 
from the largest file number in the current folder, whichever is higher. If a 
photograph is taken when the current folder contains a photograph numbered 
9999, a new folder will be created automatically and file numbering will begin 
again from 0001.
Off
File numbering is reset to 0001 when a new folder is created, the memory card is 
formatted, or a new memory card is inserted in the camera. Note that a new 
folder is created automatically if a photograph is taken when the current folder 
contains 999 photographs.
Reset
Creates a new folder and resets file numbering to 0001 with the next photograph 
taken.

If the current folder is numbered 999 and contains either 999 photographs or a photograph 
numbered 9999, the shutter-release button will be disabled and no further photographs can 
be taken. Choose Reset for File number sequence and then either format the current 
memory card or insert a new memory card.
