Storage Folder

G button U C photo shooting menu

Choose the folder in which subsequent pictures will be stored.

  1. Folder
  2. Folder number
  3. Folder name

“Storage Folder”

Changes to [Storage folder] made in the photo shooting menu apply in the video recording menu and vice versa.

Renaming Folders

The default folder name, which appears after the folder number, is “NCZ_F”. To choose a different five-character folder name for 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 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 [Secondary slot function] 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.

Cautions: Folder and File Numbers

  • When the current folder number reaches 999, the camera will no longer be able to create new folders and the shutter release will be disabled 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] or [Video file type] 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.
