3 File Numbering Methods The four-digit file number is like the frame number on a roll of film. The captured images (Ex.) BE3B0001.JPG are assigned a sequential file number from 0001 to 9999 and saved in one folder. You can change how the file number is assigned. 1 Select [File numbering]. Under the [51] tab, select [File numbering], then press . 2 Select the file numbering method. Turn the dial to select the desired setting, then press . Continuous Continues the file numbering sequence even after the card is replaced or a new folder is created. Even after you replace the card, create a folder, or switch the target card (such as f → g), the file numbering continues in sequence up to 9999 for the images saved. This is convenient when you want to save images numbered anywhere between 0001 to 9999 in multiple cards or folders into one folder in your personal computer. If the replacement card or existing folder already contains images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images may continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or folder. If you want to use continuous file numbering, you should use a newlyformatted card each time.
