Hint

  • The settings for [File Number] and [Set File Name] are applied to both Slot 1 and Slot 2.
  • When [File Number] is set to [Series], file numbers will be assigned sequentially across the memory cards in the slots even if you change the [Prioritize Rec. Media] setting.

Note

  • Only capital letters, numbers, and underscores can be used for [Set File Name]. Underscores cannot be used for the first character.
  • The three characters specified using [Set File Name] are only applied to files recorded after the setting is made.
  • When [Folder Name] is set to [Date Form], you cannot select the folder where files are stored.
  • If [Recording Mode] under [Rec. Media Settings] is set to a parameter other than [Standard], only folders shared by both memory cards may be selectable. If you cannot find a shared folder, you can create one using [New Folder].
  • If [Recording Mode] under [Rec. Media Settings] is set to a parameter other than [Standard], a folder numbered with the previous folder number on the memory card +1 will be created on both memory cards.
  • When you shoot images with [Recording Mode] under [Rec. Media Settings] set to a parameter other than [Standard], a new folder may be automatically created.
  • A new folder may be automatically created if you shoot images using a memory card that has been used in another device.
  • Up to 4,000 images in total can be stored in one folder. When the folder capacity is exceeded, a new folder may be automatically created.
