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.

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

    • 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.

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 current folder contains 5000 pictures (in addition, video recording will be disabled if the camera calculates that the number of files needed to record a video of the maximum length would result in the folder containing over 5000 files), or
    • the current folder contains a picture numbered 9999 (in addition, video recording will be disabled if the camera calculates that the number of files needed to record a video of the maximum length would result in a file numbered over 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 [Video quality] before recording videos.

Startup time

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