When a picture is taken, the camera names the file by adding
one to the last file number used. This option controls whether
file numbering continues from the last number used when a
new folder is created, the memory card is formatted, or a new
memory card is inserted in the camera.
d7: File Number Sequence
G button ➜ A (Custom Settings menu)
Option Description
On
File numbering continues from the last number used or
from the largest file number in the current folder,
whichever is higher. If a picture is taken when the current
folder contains a picture numbered 9999, a new folder will
be created automatically and file numbering will begin
again from 0001.
Off
File numbering is reset to 0001 when a new folder is
created, the memory card is formatted, or a new memory
card is inserted in the camera. Note that a new folder is
created automatically if a picture is taken when the current
folder contains 5000 pictures.
Reset
As for On, except that the next picture taken after Reset is
selected is assigned a file number by adding one to the
largest file number in the current folder. If the folder is
empty, file numbering is reset to 0001.
D File Number Sequence
If the current folder is numbered 999 and contains either 5000 pictures
or a picture numbered 9999, the shutter-release button will be
disabled and no further pictures can be taken (in addition, movie
recording may be disabled if the camera calculates that the number of
files needed to record a movie of the maximum length would result in
the folder containing over 5000 files or a file with a number over 9999).
Choose Reset for Custom Setting d7 (File number sequence) and
then either format the current memory card or insert a new memory
card.
