Settings for Images

If the last file number in the folder reaches 9999, the
message on the right will appear on the LCD monitor
and you will not be able to take any more pictures
even if the CF card still has room. To continue taking
pictures, hold down the <

> button and turn the

<

> dial to select “OK.” A new folder will then be created and you can

continue taking pictures which will be stored in the new folder.
To avoid this disruption in picture-taking, create a new folder and select it from the
start (

→p.54) or do a manual reset of the file numbering (→p.58) and select another

folder to store subsequent images.

File Numbering Methods

This method enables the file numbering to continue in numeric sequence even after you
change the folder for storing subsequent images or after you replace the CF card. This
prevents any images from having the same file number. Therefore you can manage the
images with a personal computer without confusion.
Note that if you start to store subsequent images into a another folder or CF card which
already contains images captured with the camera, the file numbering will start after the
highest file number in that folder or CF card.

If the last file number in the folder reaches 9999, the
message on the right will appear on the LCD monitor
and you will not be able to take any more pictures
even if the CF card still has room. To continue taking
pictures, hold down the <

> button and turn the

<

> dial to select “OK.” A new folder will then be created and you can continue

taking pictures. The continuous file numbering will start from 0001, and the subse-
quent images will be stored in the new folder.
To avoid this disruption in picture-taking, do a manual reset of the file numbering
(

→p.58) beforehand or use auto reset and select another folder to store the images.
