The file number is like the frame number on film. There are two file
numbering methods: [Continuous] and [Auto reset]. The images you
take are automatically assigned a file number from 0001 to 9999 and
saved in a folder (created automatically) that can hold up to 100 images.
1 Select [File numbering].
¡ Select the [
c] tab.
¡ Press the <
V> key to select [File
numbering], then press <
0>.
2 Select the file numbering method.
¡ Press the <
V> key to select
[Continuous] or [Auto reset], then
press <
0>.
The file numbering continues in sequence
even after you replace the CF card. This
prevents images from having the same file
number, so image management with a
personal computer is easier. Note that if the
replacement CF card already contains
images captured with the camera, the file
numbering will start after the highest file number in that CF card or after
the last captured image’s file number, whichever is higher.
Each time you replace the CF card, the file
numbering will be reset to the first file number
(100-0001). Since the file number starts from
0001 in each CF card, you can organize
images according to CF card. Note that if the
replacement CF card already contains
images, the file numbering will start after the
highest file number in that CF card.
