Renaming Folders

The default folder name, which appears after the folder number, is “NC_D6”. To change the name assigned to new folders, select [Rename].

  • Existing folders cannot be renamed.

  • If desired, the default name can be restored for subsequent folders by pressing and holding the O (Q) button while the keyboard is displayed.

Select Folder by Number

The folder in which subsequent pictures will be stored can be selected by number. If a folder with the specified number does not already exist, a new folder will be created.

  1. Choose [Select folder by number].
    • Highlight [Select folder by number] and press 2 to display the [Select folder by number] dialog.

    • The card on which the new folder will be created is underlined in the card slot display area at the top right corner of the [Select folder by number] dialog. The card used for new folders depends on the option currently selected for [Role played by card in Slot 2] in the photo shooting menu.

  2. Choose a folder number.

    • Press 4 or 2 to highlight digits.

    • To change the highlighted digit, press 1 or 3.

  3. Save changes and exit.

    • If a folder with the selected number already exists, a W, X, or Y icon will be displayed to the left of the folder number. Press J to complete the operation and return to the main menu; if you chose a folder marked W or X, it will be selected as the folder for new pictures.

    • If you chose a folder number that does not already exist, a new folder will be created with that number when you press J.

    • In either case, subsequent pictures will be stored in the chosen folder.

    • To exit without changing the storage folder, press the G button.

Folder Icons

Folders in the [Select folder by number] dialog are shown by W if empty, by Y if full (containing either 5000 pictures or a picture numbered 9999), or by X if partially full. A Y icon indicates that no further pictures can be stored in the folder.

Select Folder from List

To choose from a list of existing folders:

  1. Choose [Select folder from list].

    Highlight [Select folder from list] and press 2 to display the [Select folder from list] dialog.

  2. Highlight a folder.

    Press 1 or 3 to highlight a folder.

  3. Select the highlighted folder.

    • Press J to select the highlighted folder and return to the main menu.

    • Subsequent photographs will be stored in the selected folder.

Folder and File Numbers
  • Once the folder number has reached 999, the camera will stop creating new folders automatically and disable the shutter release if:

    • the number of files in the folder reaches 5000 (or during movie recording, if camera calculates that the addition of the number of files needed to create a movie of maximum length would bring the total over 5000), or

    • the file number reaches 9999 (or during movie recording, when camera calculates that the number of files needed to create a movie of maximum length would result in a file numbered higher than 9999).

  • If there is space on the memory card, you will nevertheless be able to continue shooting by:

    • creating a folder with a number less than 999 and selecting it as the storage folder, or

    • changing the options selected for [Frame size/frame rate] and [Movie quality] before recording movies.

Startup Time

Additional time may be required for camera startup if the memory card contains a very large number of files or folders.
