This option controls how files are numbered. Option On Off Reset Description The camera assigns all subsequent file and folder numbers sequentially in ascending order, starting from the last number used. If the memory card is formatted or a new card inserted in the camera, file and folder numbering will continue from the last numbers used. The camera does not store the last file and folder numbers used. When a new file or folder is created, numbering starts from the lowest number available. Clears the current file and folder numbers from memory. Sequential numbering begins again from the lowest numbers available. File Numbering File numbering starts over from 0001 if a picture is taken when the current folder contains a file numbered 9999. The camera will create a new folder by adding one to the current folder number (for example, if the current folder is "100NIKON," the new folder will be named "101NIKON"). The new picture will be numbered 0001 and stored in the new folder. Each folder can hold up to 200 pictures. If file numbering reaches 9999 when the card contains a folder numbered 999, no more pictures can be stored on the card, even if sufficient memory remains. Insert a new memory card or format the current card. Resetting File Numbering to 0001 To reset file numbering to 0001, insert an empty memory card or format the current memory card before selecting Reset.
