This section explains how to format (initialize) a
SmartMedia memory card or the internal memory, and
how to change the various settings such as auto power
off, beep sound and keep settings.
Formatting a Card/Internal Memory
Note
• A SmartMedia memory card
with a write protect pad
attached to it cannot be
formatted. Remove the pad
to format the SmartMedia
memory card. See
“Protecting Against
Accidental Writing” (p. 26).
Follow the procedure below to format a SmartMedia
memory card or the internal memory.
Before using a new SmartMedia memory card or a
SmartMedia memory card that has been used on
another device (such as a PC), you need to format it
with the camera.
Important
Note
• Formatting a SmartMedia memory card or the internal memory will
erase all the files recorded on the card or in the memory (including
protected files). Copy any important files before formatting. See
“Copying Image Files” (p.103).
• SmartMedia memory cards formatted on another device may be
unusable.

Changing the File Numbering System
By enabling or disabling sequential numbering, you can
determine the method for assigning consecutive
numbers to files. In both cases, there is never any
duplication of file names on the same memory card.
● When sequential numbering is ON
File names are assigned in sequence from R0010001 to
R9999999.
The camera always remembers the last number
assigned so that even when a new (blank) memory
card is inserted, the camera continues assigning
numbers in sequence from where it left off. In other
words, the numbers are not reset.
However if the new memory card contains a file number
higher than the last one remembered by the camera, file
naming will continue from after this higher number. For
example, if the highest number the camera remembers
is R0020500, and the new memory card contains a file
R0020600, file naming will resume from R0020601.
* To reset sequential numbering so that it will assign file
names from R0010001 again, initialize the settings (p. 127)
and insert a blank memory card.
● When sequential numbering is OFF
File names are assigned in sequence from RIMG0001
to RIMG9999, however anytime a new (blank) memory
card is inserted, the numbering resets back to
RIMG0001.
However if the new memory card already contains files,
file naming will begin from after the highest number on
the card. For example, if the new memory card contains
a file RIMG0800, file naming will begin from RIMG0801.
* When the file names reach RIMG9999, [FILE NUMBER
OVER] is displayed and no more images can be recorded.
See “Error Messages” (p.140).
Note
• Numbering starts from
RIMG0001 when the internal
memory is selected as the
recording destination.
• Using the consecutive
numbering system (when
[SEQUENTIAL NO.] is [ON])
is useful when submitting
images to digital printing
services or keeping files on a
PC as there is no risk of the
same number being assigned
twice.
