About File Numbers
Images are assigned file numbers from 0001 to 9900 and organized in folders usually
containing up to 100 images. Folders are assigned numbers from 100 to 998.
Since images shot in continuous mode or Stitch Assist mode are always saved in
the same folder, some folders may contain 101 or more images.
File number is reset to the start (100-0001) each time a new CF card is inserted. New images recorded on
CF cards with existing files are assigned the next available number.
The file number of the last image to be shot is memorized so that images recorded to a new CF card start
from the next number.
