About FoldersAs with “ 100EOS5D ” for example, the folder name starts with three digits (the 
folder number) followed by five alphan umeric characters. A folder can contain 
up to 9999 images (file number 0001  - 9999). When a folder becomes full, a 
new folder with the folder number increased by one is cr eated automatically. 
Also, if manual reset (p .155) is executed, a new  folder will be created 
automatically. Folders  numbered from 100 to  999 can be created.
Creating Folders with a Personal ComputerWith the card open on the scre en, 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 name must follow the format “100ABC_D”. 
The first three digits are the folder nu mber, from 100 to 999. The final five 
characters can be any comb ination of upper- and lower-case le tters from A to 
Z, numerals, and the unders core “_”. The space cannot be used. Also note 
that two folder names cannot share the  same three-digit folder number (for 
example, “ 100ABC_D” and “ 100W_XYZ”), even if the other  five characters in 
each name are different.

The file name has four alphanumeric 
characters followed by a four-digit image 
number (p.154) and extension. The first four 
alphanumeric characters are set upon factory 
shipment and unique to the camera. However, 
you can change them.
With “User setting1”, you can change and register the four characters 
as desired. With “User setting2”, if you register three characters\
, the 
fourth character from the left will be appended automatically to indicate 
the image size.

Settings
About User setting2When you select the “*** + image size” registered  with User setting2 and 
take pictures, the image- recording quality characte r will be automatically 
appended as the file name ’s fourth character from the left. The meaning of 
the image-recording quality characters is as follows:
“*** L” = 73,  83, 1  “*** M” = 74, 84 , 41
“*** S” = 7 a, 8 a , 61 “***T” = b  
“*** U” =  c
When the image is transferred to a personal computer,  the automatically 
appended fourth character  will be included. You can then see the image size 
without having to open the imag e. RAW or JPEG images can be 
distinguished with the extension.
The first character cannot  be an underscore “_”.
 The extension will be “.JPG” for JPEG images , “.CR2” for RAW images, 
and “.MOV” for movies.
  When you shoot a movie with User setting2, the file name’s fourth 
character will be an  underscore “_”.

The four-digit file number is like the frame 
number on a roll of film. The captured images 
are assigned a sequential file number from 
0001 to 9999 and saved in one folder. You can 
change how the file number is assigned.
1Select [File numbering].
 Under the [ 51] tab, select [ File 
numbering ], then press < 0>.
2Select the file numbering method.
  Turn the < 5> dial to select the 
desired setting, then press < 0>.
Continues the file numbering sequence even after the card is 
replaced or a new folder is created.
Even after you replace the card, create a folder, or switch the target 
card (such as  f →  g ), the file numbering continues in sequence up to 
9999 for the images saved. This is convenient when you want to save 
images numbered anywhere between 0001  to 9999 in multiple cards or 
folders into one folder in your personal computer.
If the replacement card or existing  folder already contains images 
recorded previously, the file number ing of the new images may continue 
from the file numbering of the existi ng images in the card or folder. If 
you want to use continuous file numbering, you should use a newly-
formatted card each time.

3 File Numbering Methods
The file numbering restarts from  0001 each time the card is 
replaced or a new folder is created.
When you replace the card, create a folder, or switch the target card 
(such as f  →  g ), the file numbering cont inues in sequence from 0001 
for the images saved. This is convenient if you want to  organize images 
according to cards or folders.
If the replacement card or existi ng folder already contains images 
recorded previously, the file number ing of the new images may continue 
from the file numbering of the existi ng images in the card or folder. If 
you want to save images with the fi le numbering starting from 0001, use 
a newly formatted card each time.
To reset the file numbering to 000 1 or to start from file number 
0001 in a new folder.
When you reset the file numbering  manually, a new folder is created 
automatically and the file numbering  of images saved to that folder 
starts from 0001.
This is convenient if you want to  use different folders for the images 
taken yesterday and the ones taken  today, for example. After the 
manual reset, the file numbering retu rns to continuous or auto reset.  
(There will be no Manual re set confirmation screen.)

If the file number in folder 999 reaches 9999, shooting will not be possible 
even if the card still has storage capa city. The LCD monitor will display a 
message telling you to replace the card. Replace it with a new card.

The range of reproducible colors is called the color space. With this 
camera, you can set the color space  for captured images to sRGB or 
Adobe RGB. For normal shooting, sRGB is recommended.
The color space is set automatically to sRGB in the < A> mode.
1Select [Color space].
 Under the [ z2] tab, select [Color 
space ], then press < 0>.
2Set the desired color space.
  Select [ sRGB] or [ Adobe RGB ], then 
press < 0>.
This color space is mainly used for commercial printing and other 
industrial uses. This setting is  not recommended if you do not know 
about image processing, Adobe RGB,  and Design rule for Camera File 
System 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). T he image will look very subdued in a 
sRGB personal computer environment  and with printers not compatible 
with Design rule for Camera File Syst em 2.0 (Exif 2.21 or higher). Post-
processing of the image with software will therefore be required.
3  Setting the Color Space N
About Adobe RGB
 If the captured still photo was shot  in the Adobe RGB color space, the 
first character in th e file name will be an underscore “_”.
 
The ICC profile is not appended. Refer to explanations about the ICC 
profile in the Software Instruction Manual (p.396) on the CD-ROM.
