Note
• When you are recording to internal memory, file names are assigned just as when 
[SEQUENTIAL NO.] is set to [OFF].
• When transferring images to a computer using RICOH Gate La (P.143), if a file with the 
same name already exists in the destination folder of the computer, the file being 
transferred is renamed and saved to prevent overwriting the existing file.
• When an image has been transferred to a computer using a mass storage device (P.146), it 
is saved as a file named “RIMG****.jpg” (**** indicates the number of the image) even if 
[SEQUENTIAL NO] is set to ON. 
• When RIMG9999 is reached, no more files can be saved. In this case, move image data 
from the SD memory card to the built-in memory of the computer or a storage medium, and 
then format the SD memory card.
