Resetting the File Number

Page 96 highlights

Resetting the File Number This function resets the file number that is automatically assigned to a new image as it is recorded. Successive numbers are automatically assigned. When a CF Card Contains Previously Recorded Images After the reset, the first new image is assigned the number of the last recorded image plus one. When the CF Card Contains No Previously Recorded Images After the reset, the first new image is assigned the number one. • Standard File Number Assignment Method The camera records the number of the last image that was recorded. When an image is next shot, it adds one to the previous number to create the new file number. However, if there are images already on the CF card that have higher file numbers, the camera adds one to the highest number on the CF card to avoid duplication. This means that a particular camera will not create two images with the same file number. As a result, the file numbers on a particular CF card may not be consecutive if other cards have been used in between recording sessions with that card. Additional Functions 94

Additional Functions
Resetting the File Number
This function resets the file number that is
automatically assigned to a new image as it is
recorded. Successive numbers are automati-
cally assigned.
When a CF Card Contains Previously
Recorded Images
After the reset, the first new image is
assigned the number of the last recorded
image plus one.
When the CF Card Contains No Previously
Recorded Images
After the reset, the first new image is
assigned the number one.
• Standard File Number Assignment
Method
The camera records the number of the
last image that was recorded. When an
image is next shot, it adds one to the
previous number to create the new file
number. However, if there are images
already on the CF card that have higher
file numbers, the camera adds one to
the highest number on the CF card to
avoid duplication. This means that a
particular camera will not create two
images with the same file number. As a
result, the file numbers on a particular
CF card may not be consecutive if other
cards have been used in between
recording sessions with that card.
