FRAME NO.
Specifies whether frame numbers are assigned
consecutively from previous numbers or begin
again.
CONT.: Pictures are stored beginning from the
highest file number stored on the last xD-
Picture Card used.
RENEW: Pictures are stored on each xD-Picture
Card beginning with a file number “0001”.
Setting this function to “CONT.” makes file
management easier as it makes sure that file
names are not duplicated when images are
downloaded to a PC.
●
!
When the camera settings are “q RESET”, the frame
number setting (“CONT.” or “RENEW”) is changed to
“CONT.” and the frame number itself does not return to
“0001”.
●
!
When the xD-Picture Card already contains image files with
file numbers higher than the highest file number on the last
xD-Picture Card, images are stored beginning from the
highest file number on the current xD-Picture Card.
Check the file number by viewing the image. The
last 4 digits of the 7-digit number in the top right
corner of the LCD monitor are the file numbers,
while the first 3 digits show the directory number.
●
!
When changing the xD-Picture Card, always turn the
camera off before opening the battery cover. Opening the
battery cover without turning the camera off may cause the
frame number memory to not function.
●
!
File number runs from 0001 to 9999. Once 9999 is exceeded,
the directory number changes from 100 to 101. The
maximum number is 999–9999.

The displayed frame number may differ for images
photographed on other cameras.
