How to adjust the file numbering on the EOS 5D.

Solution

The file number is like the frame number on a roll of film. It can start counting in one of three different ways: [Continuous], [Auto reset], and [Manual reset]. The images you take are automatically assigned a file number from 0001 to 9999. The images are saved in the selected folder.


1. Select [File numbering].
  • Turn the <> dial to select [ File numbering], then press <>.
2. Select the file numbering method.
  • Turn the <> dial to select [Continuous], [Auto reset], or [Manual reset], then press <>.

Continuous

The file numbering continues in sequence even after you replace the CF card. This prevents images from having the same file number, so image management with a personal computer is easier. Note that if the replacement CF card already contains images captured with the camera, the file numbering will start after the highest file number in that CF card or after the last captured image' s file number, whichever is higher.

Auto Reset

Each time you replace the CF card, the file numbering will be reset to the first file number (0001). Since the file number starts from 0001 in each CF card, you can organize images according to CF card. Note that if the replacement CF card already contains images, the file numbering will start after the highest file number in that CF card.

Manual Reset

This creates a new folder automatically and resets the file number to 0001. Images captured thereafter are saved in this new folder. The file numbering method (Auto reset or Continuous) that was in effect before the manual reset will continue to take effect.
