You can create and select folders.
When using a CF card and SD card in the camera, you can select which memory card to use. Or you can have the same images recorded onto cards for backup purposes.
Creating a new folder
- The left <
 > tab shows the folders in the CF card, and the right < > tab shows the folders in the SD card.
- The number next to the <> and <> tabs indicate the respective card's remaining capacity.
- "100EOS1D" is the folder No. and the number on the right is the number of images in the folder.
|
- A folder cannot be created beyond folder No. 999.

Creating Folders with a Personal Computer
With the memory card open on the screen, create a new folder named "Dcim."
Open the Dcim folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and organize your images.
The folder names must start with three digits from 100 to 999 followed by five letters, like 100ABC_D. The five letters can be a combination of upper or lower case letters from A to Z and an under bar. There can be no spaces in the folder name. Also, if there are folder numbers with the same three digit number (regardless of the letters) such as "100ABC_C" and "100ABC_D", the camera will not recognize the folders.

- The number of remaining shots displayed on the top LCD panel will be based on the memory card having less remaining capacity.
- In the back-up mode, a folder with the same number will be created automatically in the CF card and SD card.
