Image files are assigned numerical file names over the range 0001 to 9900. The camera stores these files into folders, which are assigned folder numbers from 100 to 998 (except that numbers ending in 99 are not used). In most cases the camera stores exactly 100 files into each folder. Because the camera cannot switch to a new folder when taking shots in or / mode, however, some folders may have more than 100 images. 56 ● Shooting ● Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode The following chart shows the functions and settings available in each shooting mode.
