FILE No. RESET FUNCTIONIf a newly formatted (page 95) card is used, the file name (image number) ofthe captured image automatically begins from 0001. If the card is

subsequently reformatted, or if a different reformatted card is used, the filenames again begin from 0001. This is because the file number reset functionis set to ON, and consequently it results in more than one card containingimages with the same numbers. By setting the file number reset function toOFF, even if the card is reformatted or the card is replaced with anothercard, the consecutive numbering of file names continues from the last numberrecorded by the camera.

File name (image number)Card A 0001, 0002 ......0012, 0013
