* When a blank memory card is used. If a memory card with recorded data is
used, the 7-digit number for the last recorded folder and image is compared
with the last one on the card, and the larger of the two is utilized as the
basis for new images.
File and Folder Numbers
Recorded images are assigned consecutive file numbers starting
with 0001 and ranging up to 9999, while folders are assigned
numbers starting with 100 and ranging up to 999. Up to 2,000
images can be saved into a single folder.
z Images may be saved to a new folder when there is insufficient
free space even if the total number of images in a folder is less
than 2,000 because the following types of image are always
saved together into the same folder.
- images from continuous shooting
- Self-timer images (custom)
- Stitch Assist mode images
- Color Accent/Color Swap still images (with [Save Original] set to
[On])
z Images cannot be played back when the folder numbers are
duplicated or image numbers are duplicated within folders.
z Please refer to the Software Starter Guide for information
regarding folder structures or image types.
Auto Reset
The image and folder number are reset to the starting value
(100-0001).* This is convenient for managing images on a
folder-by-folder basis.
