Folder name
Naming Image Files
When you take a picture, the camera assigns it a unique file name and saves it in a folder.
The folder and file name can later be used for file handling on a computer. File names are
assigned as shown in the illustration below.
You can select RESET or AUTO to determine how numbering is restarted every time you
change a memory card. When you purchase the camera, the AUTO method is already
selected for you.
With RESET selected, a new image is automatically assigned the next available number.
If there are no files on the card, the image is assigned 0001 as the file number.
With AUTO selected, the camera remembers the number of the last picture taken,
increments the number by 1, and assigns this number to the next picture taken on the
next memory card. Therefore, no matter how many times you change memory cards, the
file names cannot be duplicated. On the card where you try to store the image, if there is
an image file with a number higher than the last image stored on the card, then the
camera uses the highest number to continue numbering, assigns the number to the new
image and stores it with that number.
