About FoldersAs with “ 100CANON ” for example, the folder name  starts with three digits 
(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 .205) 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 next 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 “1 00W_XYZ”), even if the other five characters in 
each name are different.

The image files will be numbered from 0001 to 9999 in the order the 
images are taken, then saved in a folder. You can change how the file 
number is assigned.
The file number will appear on y our computer in this format: 
IMG_0001.JPG.
Under the [51] tab, select [ File

  [Continuous]: The file numbering continues in sequence even 
after you replace the card or create a folder.
Even after you replace the card or create a new folder, the file 
numbering continues in sequence up  to 9999. This is convenient 
when you want to save image s numbered anywhere between 0001 
to 9999 in multiple cards or folder s into one folder in your personal 
computer.
If the replacement card or existi ng folder already contains images 
recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images may 
continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or 
folder. If you want to use continuous file numbering, it is 
recommended that you use a newly-formatted card each time.

 [Auto reset]: The file numbering restarts from 0001 each time 
the card is replaced or a new folder is created.
When you replace the card or create a folder, the file numbering 
restarts from 0001 for the new images saved. This is convenient if 
you want to organize images according to cards or folders.
However, if the replacement card or  existing folder already contains 
images recorded previously, the fi le numbering of the new images 
may continue from the file number ing of the existing images in the 
card or folder. If you want to save images with the file numbering 
starting from 0001, use a newly formatted card each time.
  [Manual reset]: To reset the file  numbering to 0001 manually 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 returns to continuous or auto reset. 
(There will be no Manual re set confirmation screen.)
