Selecting and Creating Folders
z
Folders are named as in 100CANON, with a three-digit folder number
followed by five letters or numbers.
z
Folders with numbers in the range 100–999 can be created.
z
Changing File Numbering
z
Regardless of the option selected in this setting, shots may be
numbered consecutively after the last number of existing images on
newly inserted memory cards. To start saving shots from 0001, use an
empty (or formatted) memory card.
z
Formatting Memory Cards
z
Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file
management information on the card and does not erase the data
completely. When disposing of or transferring ownership of memory
cards, take steps to protect personal information if necessary, as by
physically destroying cards.
z
The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be less
than the advertised capacity.
z
Low-level formatting takes longer than initial formatting, because data is
erased from all storage regions of the memory card.
z
You can cancel low-level formatting in progress by choosing [Cancel].
In this case, all data will be erased, but the memory card can be used
normally.
