3 File Numbering Methods The four-digit file number is like the frame number on a roll of film. The captured (Example) BE3B0001.JPG images 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. 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 f9g), 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 on multiple cards or in multiple folders into one folder on your 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 on the card or in the folder. If you want to use continuous file numbering, it is recommended that you use a newly-formatted card each time.
