recorded into the selected folder.
Folders
As with “100CANON” for example, the folder name starts with three digits (the
folder number) followed by five alphanumeric characters. A folder can contain up
to 9999 images (file number 0001 - 9999). When a folder becomes full, a new
folder with the folder number increased by one is created automatically. Also, if
manual reset (p.215) is executed, a new folder will be created automatically.
Folders numbered from 100 to 999 can be created.
Creating Folders with a Computer
With the card open on the screen, create a new folder named “DCIM”. Open the
DCIM folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and organize your
images. The folder name must follow the format “100ABC_D”. The first three
digits are the folder number, from 100 to 999. The final five characters can be
any combination of upper- and lower-case letters from A to Z, numerals, and the
underscore “_”. The space cannot be used. Also, the camera cannot recognize
folders having the same folder number even if the last five characters are
different, such as 100ABC_D and 100W_XYZ.
