FOLDER MANAGEMENT
The image data on the memory cards is stored in folders, which are created
automatically. The folder names always consist of eight characters - three
figures and five letters. In the factory default setting, the first folder is named
100LEICA, the second 101LEICA, etc. The next available number is always
used as the folder number, and a maximum of 999 folders are possible. If
the number capacity has been used up, a corresponding warning message
appears in the monitor.
The individual pictures are given continuous numbers up to 9999 unless
a the memory card in use already contains a picture with a higher number
than the last number assigned by the camera. In such cases, the numbering
used on the card is continued. If the current folder contains picture number
9999, a new folder is created automatically and the numbering begins again
at 0001. If the folder number 999 and picture number 9999 are reached, a
corresponding warning message appears in the monitor and the numbering
must be reset (see below).
On the Leica S you can also create new folders at any time, give them names
of your choice and change the file names.
