Your camera treats each snapshot, movie, and Voice Recording, as a separate file.
You can delete, protect, and copy files as required.
Files are grouped in folders that are created automatically by the camera.
Files and folders have their own unique names, which are assigned automatically by the camera.

Each folder can contain up to 9999 files named CIMG0001 through CIMG9999. The
extension on the file name depends on the file type.
• If a folder already contains 9999 files, recording another file will cause a new folder to
be created automatically.
