and saved in folders that store up to 2,000 images each. You can change
how the camera assigns file numbers.

Choose [File Numbering], and then
choose an option.
Continuous
Images are numbered
consecutively (until the 9999th
shot is taken/saved) even if
you switch memory cards.
Auto Reset
Image numbering is reset to
0001 if you switch memory
cards, or when a new folder is
created.

Regardless of the option selected in this setting, shots may be numbered
consecutively after the last number of existing images on newly inserted
memory cards. To start saving shots from 0001, use an empty (or formatted
(

Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file
management information on the card and does not erase the data
completely. When transferring or disposing of memory cards, take
steps to protect personal information if necessary, as by physically
destroying cards.
•
The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be less than
the advertised capacity.
Low-Level Formatting
Perform low-level formatting in these cases: [Memory card error] is
displayed, the camera is not working correctly, card image reading/writing is
slower, continuous shooting is slower, or movie recording suddenly stops.
Low-level formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before low-level
formatting, copy images on the memory card to a computer, or take other
steps to back them up.
