Naming Image Files When you take a picture, the camera assigns it a unique file name and saves it in a folder. The folder and file name can later be used for file handling on a computer. File names are assigned as shown in the illustration below. All folders DCIM 100 OLYMP P2030001.jpg P2030002.jpg P2030003.jpg P2030004.jpg Folder name OLYMP Folder number (100~999) File name Pmdd .jpg Day (01~31) Month (10, 11, 12 are numbered A, B, C) File number (0001~9999) After taking 9999 pictures, the counter is reset to 0001 for the next picture, the folder number increments by 1 to name and create a new folder where the next image (file) is stored. You can select RESET or AUTO to determine how numbering is restarted every time you change a memory card. When you purchase the camera, the AUTO method is already selected for you. With RESET selected, a new image is automatically assigned the next available number. If there are no files on the card, the image is assigned 0001 as the file number. With AUTO selected, the camera remembers the number of the last picture taken, increments the number by 1, and assigns this number to the next picture taken on the next memory card. Therefore, no matter how many times you change memory cards, the file names cannot be duplicated. On the card where you try to store the image, if there is an image file with a number higher than the last image stored on the card, then the camera uses the highest number to continue numbering, assigns the number to the new image and stores it with that number. 154
