Continuous Continues the file numbering sequence even after the memory card is replaced or a new folder is created. Even after you replace the memory card or create a new folder, the file numbering continues in sequence up to 9999. This is convenient when you want to save the images numbered anywhere between 0001 to 9999 in multiple cards or folders into one folder in your personal computer. If the replacement memory card or existing folder already contains images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or folder. If you want to save images with continuous file numbering, use a newly formatted memory card each time.
