When this option is selected, the camera assigns all
subsequent folder and file numbers sequentially in
ascending order, starting from the last numbers used.
If the memor y card is formatted or a new card in-
ser ted in the camera, folder and file numbering will
contin ue from the last numbers used. This makes it
easier to k eep track of images and helps prevent
files from being accidentally overwritten when fold-
ers are copied to a computer.

user creates a new folder from the playback Folder Designate menu. File numbering will

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 camer a assigns each image a
file name consisting of “DSC_” followed by a four-digit number
from 0001 to 9999. Images are stored in folder s with a name
consisting of a three-digit folder n umber between 100 and
999, followed by “NCD1X” (for example, “100NCD1X”). Cus-
tom Setting 29 controls how the camera assigns folder and file
number s. File number ing can also be controlled using the File No. Seq. option in
the shooting menu.
Sequential n umbering begins again from the lowest
number available in the current folder.
