Changing File Name Set-
tings (SEQUENTIAL NO.)
When you shoot a still image, it is stored on
an SD Memory Card or in internal memory,
with a consecutively numbered file name
automatically assigned.
When you are switching SD Memory Cards,
you can set your camera to continue consec-
utive numbering from the previously loaded
SD Memory Card.
To make changes to file numbering, follow
the steps below.
1. Turn the Mode Dial to 1

(Setup Mode).
The Setup Screen appears.
2. Press the "
""
" button to select
[SEQUENTIAL NO.].
3. Press the #$
#$#$
#$ buttons to select
the desired setting.
This setting will be used for shooting until
you change it.
• When you are recording to internal mem-
ory, file names are assigned just as when
[SEQUENTIAL NO.] is set to [OFF].
• When transferring images to a computer, if
a file already exists with the same name in
the destination folder, your image is
renamed before saving to avoid overwrite
problem.
• When transferring images to a computer
via DL-10, the files are assigned names
like IMAG****.jpg (**** indicates the num-
ber of the image), even if "SEQUENTIAL
NO." is set to ON.
Extension
The characters "jpg" following the period in a
file name are called the extension and indi-
cate file's type. A type of "jpg" indicates that
the file is in JPEG format. The extension is
always separated from the file name by a
period.
JPEG Files
This is read "Jay-Peg" file. This is one of the
file formats used for saving image data. It is
widely used when recording still images, its
strong point being its small file size.
Possible Settings
ON (Continue numbering)
File names will be automatically assigned to still images you
take, in the format of "M" followed by 7 digits, from
M0010001.jpg to M9999999.jpg.
With this setting, even when one SD Memory Card is switched
with another, consecutive file numbering from the previous card
is continued.
OFF (Do not continue numbering) (Default)
Every time a new card is loaded, file numbering is assigned,
from IMAG0001.jpg to IMAG9999.jpg.
If numbering exceeds IMAG9999, further recording is not possi-
ble.
