FRAME NO.
New pictures are stored in image files named using a four-digit file number assigned by adding one to the last file number used. The file number is displayed during playback as shown. FRAME NO. controls whether file numbering is reset to 0001 when a new memory card is inserted or the current memory card is formatted.
Directory number | File number |
Option | Description |
---|---|
CONTINUOUS | Numbering continues from the last file number used or the first available file number, whichever is higher. Choose this option to reduce the number of pictures with duplicate file names. |
RENEW | Numbering is reset to 0001 after formatting or when a new memory card is inserted. |
If the frame number reaches 999-9999, the shutter release will be disabled. Turn the camera off and insert a formatted memory card before resuming shooting.
Selecting DUSER SETTING > RESET sets FRAME NO. to CONTINUOUS but does not reset the file number.
Frame numbers for pictures taken with other cameras may differ.
