Solution
Your shots are automatically numbered in sequential order (0001 – 9999) and saved in folders that store up to 2,000 images each. Folder numbers can also be created separately based on the shooting date.
IMPORTANT
- Folder numbers are assigned based on the date set in the camera. Confirm beforehand that the date and time are correct.
