IMPORTANT
• Observe the following precautions while the SD card access indicator is illuminated in red. Failure to do so may
result in permanent data loss.
- Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camera.
- Do not remove the SD card.
NOTES
• If the LOCK switch on the SD card is set to prevent writing, you will not be able to record photos or grab
frames. Change the position of the LOCK switch in advance.
Photo Numbering
Photos are automatically assigned consecutive numbers and stored on
the SD card in folders. You can select the photo numbering method to be
used.
1 Open the [Photo Numbering] submenu.
[3 Recording/Media Setup] > [Photo Numbering]
2 Select the desired option and the press SET.
Options
[Reset]: Photo numbers will restart from 100-0001 every time you insert a new SD card. If an SD card
already contains previous recordings, photo numbers will continue from the number following
that of the last photo on the SD card.
[Continuous]: Photo numbers will continue from the number following that of the last photo recorded with the
camera. This setting is the most convenient for managing files on a computer. We recommend
using the [Continuous] setting.
NOTES
• Each folder can contain up to 500 files. When that number is exceeded, a new folder is created automatically.

Understanding folder names
• An example folder name is “101_1103”. The first 3 digits indicate the folder number (from 100 to 999) and
the last 4 digits indicate the month and day when the folder was created. In the example, the folder
numbered 101 was created on November 3.
Understanding photo numbers
• An example photo number is “101-0107”. The first 3 digits indicate the folder number where the photo is
stored and the last 4 digits indicate the consecutive number assigned to the photo (from 0001 to 9999).
• The photo number also indicates the name and location of the file on the SD card. For example, a photo
numbered 101-0107 that was recorded on November 3, is located in the “DCIM\101_1103” folder as the
file “IMG_0107.JPG”.
