Photo Numbering

Photos are automatically assigned consecutive numbers from 0101 to 9900, and stored on the SD card in folders containing up to 100 photos. Folders are numbered from 101 to 998. You can select the photo numbering method to be used.

The photo number indicates the name and location of the file on the SD card. For example, a photo numbered 101-0107 is located in the “DCIM\101CANON” folder as the file “IMG_0107.jpg”.

 

1 Open the [Photo Numbering] submenu.

[Other Functions] > [Photo Numbering]

2 Select the desired option and the press SET.

Options

[Reset]: Photo numbers will restart from 101-0101 every time you insert a new SD card. If an SD card already contains photos, photo numbers will continue from the number following that of the last photo on the SD card.

[Continu.]: Photo numbers will continue from the number following that of the last photo recorded with the camcorder

NOTES

  • If you select [Continu.] and the SD card you insert already contains a photo with a larger number, a new photo will be assigned a number one higher than that of the last photo on the SD card.
  • We recommend using the [Continu.] setting.
