Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode
The following chart shows the functions and settings available in each shooting mode. The camera
stores settings separately for each mode, and retains these settings even if you switch to a
different mode.

Resetting the File Number
Select the set up method for the file number.
Off
The camera resets the file number to 100-
0001 each time you insert a new (unused)
CF card. If you insert a card that already
contains some images, numbering resumes
from the next available number.
The camera remembers the last file number,
and starts numbering from the next number
when you insert a new CF card.
On
1
In the [Rec.] menu, select (File
No. Reset).
See “Selecting Menus and Settings” (p. 36).
2
Press or button to select [On]
or [Off] and press the MENU button.
The [Off] setting helps ensure that file num-
bers remain unique over multiple CF cards.
This is useful if you are planning to down-
load images from the cards to your computer,
since it helps avoid accidental overwrites that
may occur if filenames are duplicated.
About file numbering...
Image files are assigned numerical file
names over the range 0001 to 9900. The
camera stores these files into folders, which
are assigned folder numbers from 100 to 998
(except that numbers ending in 99 are not
used).
In most cases the camera stores exactly 100
files into each folder. Because the camera
cannot switch to a new folder when taking
shots in or / mode, however,
some folders may have more than 100 im-
ages.
