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.

2
Select the file numbering method.
¡
Turn the <

> dial to select
[

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.
Each time you replace the CF card, the file
numbering will be reset to the first file
number (
XXX-0001
). Since the file number
starts from
0001
in each CF card, you can
organize images according to CF card.
