The items that can be set are as follows.

[A]…[Z]

(Factory setting: [A])

[NEXT CARD COUNT]

Sets the CARD COUNT used for recorded MOV format/MP4 format file names.

In the following cases, the setting value in [NEXT CARD COUNT] is stored in the volume label of the memory card together with the [CAM INDEX] setting value as CARD COUNT. Furthermore, after storing, the setting value increases by 1. ([001] returns after [999])

When formatted the memory card

When recorded to the memory card where CARD COUNT is not stored in the volume label

The items that can be set are as follows.

[001]…[999]
