h About the file counter (file numbers)

File numbers (No. 0001 to 9999) are automatically assigned to images when they are shot. The assigned file numbers are then saved

with the images during downloading.

■ Because the file numbers are assigned when shots are taken and stored on the camera, the file numbers of images do not change

while they remain on the camera.

■ If you delete an image on the camera after shooting it, the file number of the deleted file is skipped.

■ When you reset the file counter, the file numbers for the next images shot begin again from “0001”. However, the file counter can only

be reset when [Delete All Images] or [Format] is selected in the “FLATFOTO Config” screen.
