The file number is like the frame number on a roll of film. The captured 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. The file number will appear on a computer in this format: IMG_0001.JPG.

Under the [] tab, select [File numbering], then press <>. The available settings are described below. Select one, then press <>.

[Continuous]: The file numbering continues in sequence even after the card is replaced.

Even after you replace the card, the file numbering continues in sequence up to 9999. This is convenient when you want to save the images numbered anywhere between 0001 to 9999 from multiple cards into one folder in your computer.

If the replacement card contains images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card. If you want to use continuous file numbering, you should use a newly-formatted card each time.

[Auto reset]: Resets the file numbering to 0001 whenever the card is replaced.

Each time you replace the card, the file numbering restarts from 0001. This is convenient if you want to organize images according to cards.

If the replacement card contains images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card. To restart the file numbering from 0001, you should use a newly-formatted card.

[Manual reset]: To reset the file numbering to 0001 manually or to start from file number 0001 in a new folder.

When you reset the file numbering manually, a new folder is created automatically and the file numbering of images saved to that folder starts from 0001.

This is convenient if you want to use different folders for the images taken yesterday and the ones taken today, for example. After the manual reset, the file numbering returns to continuous or auto reset.

If the file number in folder No. 999 reaches 9999, shooting will not be possible even if the card still has storage capacity. The LCD monitor will display a message telling you to replace the card. Replace it with a new card.

For JPEG and RAW images, the file name will start with "IMG_". Movie file names will start with "MVI_". The extension will be ".JPG" for JPEG images, ".CR2" for RAW images, and ". MOV" for movies.
