File Numbering
If continuous file numbering is not selected, file numbering will begin from 0001 whenever the
user creates a new folder from the playback Folder Designate menu. File numbering will
also begin from 0001 whenever the camera creates a new folder automatically, whether or not
continuous file numbering is selected. New folders are created automatically when:
• The number of images in the current folder reaches 999
•The current folder contains a file numbered 9999
Custom Setting 29: File Number Sequence
When saving photographs, the camera assigns each image a
file name consisting of “DSC_” followed by a four-digit number
from 0001 to 9999. Images are stored in folders with a name
consisting of a three-digit folder number between 100 and
999, followed by “NCD1X” (for example, “100NCD1X”). Cus-
tom Setting 29 controls how the camera assigns folder and file
numbers. File numbering can also be controlled using the File No. Seq. option in
the shooting menu.
The current file and folder numbers are cleared from
memory and sequential file numbering begins again
from 0001 with the next photograph taken. If the
current folder already contains photographs, sequen-
tial file numbering will begin from the next available
number.
