About file numbering...
¡
Image files are assigned n umerical 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.
