The image files will be numbered from 0001 to 9999 in the order the images
are taken, then saved in a folder. You can change how the file number is
assigned.
The file number will appear on your computer in this format: IMG_0001.JPG.
Under the [51] tab, select [File
numbering], then press <0>. The

Select the option, then press <0>.
Continuous
The file numbering continues in sequence even after you replace the
card or create a folder.
Even after you replace the card or create a new folder, the file numbering
continues in sequence up to 9999. This is convenient when you want to
save images numbered anywhere between 0001 to 9999 on multiple cards
or folders into one folder on your 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.
