CANON EOS 200D (01) PDF MANUAL

Bulb keeps the shutter open for as long as you hold the shutter button down, useful for long exposures like fireworks or night scenes.

1. Set the Mode Dial to .

2. Turn the < 􀎡 > dial counterclockwise past “30”” until is displayed.

3. Set the desired aperture (hold < Av+/- > and turn < 􀎡 > dial) and ISO.

4. Press and hold the shutter button completely for the desired duration. The elapsed exposure time is displayed on the LCD monitor (can be turned off via DISP button).

5. Release the shutter button to end the exposure.

Tips & Cautions:

• Use a tripod and remote switch (RS-60E3 or BR-E1) to avoid camera shake.

• Long Exposure Noise Reduction is recommended ([Auto] or [Enable]).

• ISO is fixed at 400 if ISO Auto was set.

• Avoid pointing at intense light sources.

Metering mode determines how the camera measures the subject’s brightness to set exposure.

1. Press MENU, go to [SHOOT3] tab, select [Metering mode], and press .

2. Select the desired mode:

• 􀊞 Evaluative metering: General purpose, good for most scenes including backlit subjects (Default).

• 􀊠 Partial metering: Meters a small area in the center (approx. 6.5% of viewfinder). Good for backlit subjects.

• 􀊡 Spot metering: Meters a very small area in the center (approx. 2.8% of viewfinder). For precise metering of a specific part (Advanced users).

• 􀊟 Center-weighted average metering: Averages metering across the scene, emphasizing the center (Advanced users).

3. Press .

Note: In Basic Zone modes, Evaluative is usually set automatically (Center-weighted average in SCN: 􀤛 and 􀬸 modes).

Use exposure compensation to manually make the image brighter or darker than the camera’s standard exposure. Available in P, Tv, Av modes (and M mode with ISO Auto).

1. Press the shutter button halfway and check the exposure level indicator.

2. While holding down the < Av+/- > button, turn the < 􀎡 > dial:

• Clockwise for positive compensation (brighter image).

• Counterclockwise for negative compensation (darker image).

3. The amount of compensation is shown on the exposure level indicator (up to ±5 stops in 1/3 steps, but viewfinder/guided screen show up to ±2/±3 stops).

4. Take the picture. The compensation is applied.

To cancel, set the compensation back to 0 using the same method.

Note: The setting is canceled if the power switch is set to . If compensation exceeds the viewfinder display range, <◀> or <▶> appears.

AEB takes three shots consecutively at different exposure levels: standard, decreased, and increased.

1. Press MENU, go to [SHOOT2] tab, select [Expo.comp./AEB], and press .

2. Set the AEB range by turning the < 􀎡 > dial. The indicators on the exposure level scale will spread out to show the bracket range (up to ±2 stops).

3. (Optional) You can combine AEB with exposure compensation. Use the <  > <  > keys to set the center point (exposure compensation amount). AEB will be centered around this value.

4. Press . The AEB range is displayed in the viewfinder.

5. Focus and press the shutter button completely. The three shots are taken automatically if in continuous drive mode, or require three separate presses in single drive mode.

To cancel AEB, repeat steps 1-2 and turn the dial until only the center mark is displayed (range set to 0).

• Use continuous drive mode (<􀎥> or <􀮈S>) for automatic capture of all three shots with one shutter press.

• With single drive mode (<􀎤> or <􀮇S>), you must press the shutter three times.

• With self-timer or remote, three shots are taken consecutively after the delay.

• During AEB, <*> and the AEB range blink in the viewfinder.

• AEB cannot be used with flash, Multi Shot Noise Reduction, Creative Filters, or bulb exposure.

• If Auto Lighting Optimizer is active, the bracketing effect might be reduced.

AE Lock locks the exposure setting, allowing you to recompose the shot while maintaining the exposure measured for a specific area. Useful for backlit subjects or when focus and exposure points differ.

1. Focus on the subject by pressing the shutter button halfway. The exposure settings are displayed.

2. Aim the AF point (or center of the screen for some modes) where you want to meter exposure and press the < * > button. The <*> icon appears in the viewfinder, indicating exposure is locked.

3. Recompose the shot as desired.

4. Press the shutter button completely to take the picture.

• Keep holding the < * > button if you want to take multiple pictures with the same locked exposure.

• AE lock behavior depends on the metering mode and AF point selection method (see table in PDF).

• Not possible with bulb exposures.

Mirror lockup minimizes camera shake caused by mirror movement, useful for super telephoto or macro shots.

1. Enable Mirror Lockup: Go to MENU -> [􀬗4: Custom Functions (C.Fn)] -> [6: Mirror lockup] and set it to [1:Enable].

2. Focus on the subject.

3. Press the shutter button completely. The mirror will swing up (you’ll hear it).

4. Press the shutter button completely again. The picture is taken, and the mirror returns.

5. Remember to set [6: Mirror lockup] back to [0:Disable] after use.

Tips:

• Use with self-timer (10 or 2 sec): Press shutter fully, mirror locks up, picture taken after delay.

• Use with remote control (RS-60E3 or BR-E1): Press remote release fully to lock mirror, press again to take picture (or use BR-E1’s 2-sec delay).

• Tripod recommended.

• If mirror is locked up for approx. 30 sec without taking picture, it automatically goes down.

Use the flash indoors, in low light, or for backlit subjects.

1. Press the < 􀬅 > (flash) button to raise the flash. (In Creative Zone modes, you can do this anytime. In some Basic modes, it pops up automatically).

2. If the flash is recharging, “buSY” appears in the viewfinder and [BUSY 􀢌] on the LCD.

3. Press the shutter button halfway. Check that the flash ready icon < 􀇟 > is displayed in the viewfinder.

4. Focus and press the shutter button completely. The flash will fire.

The range depends on the ISO speed and lens aperture. Here are approximate ranges for the EF-S18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens:

*Appropriate exposure may not be obtained at high ISO/long distances depending on subject.

• Bright light: If viewfinder exposure settings blink, decrease the ISO speed.

• Lens Hood: Detach the lens hood, as it can block the flash.

• Distance: Do not get too close to the subject, as the lens/hood might obstruct the light, causing a dark shadow at the bottom of the picture.

This uses the red-eye reduction lamp to help minimize red eyes in flash portraits.

1. Press MENU.

2. Go to the [SHOOT2] tab (or [SHOOT1] in Basic Zone modes).

3. Select [Red-eye reduc.] and press .

4. Select [Enable] and press .

Approximate number of shots based on CIPA standards with a fully charged LP-E17 battery:

Continuous Live View shooting time is possible for approx. 2 hr 15 min. at room temperature.

• Not possible in SCN: 􀤛 mode.

• Angle of view changes slightly in SCN: 􀤙 mode (distortion correction).

• Image area is smaller in SCN: 􀤛 and HDR modes.

• Continuous shooting speed is slower with flash.

• Avoid pointing the camera at intense light sources (sun, strong artificial light) to prevent sensor damage.

• With flash, two shutter sounds occur, but only one shot is taken. Time to capture is longer than viewfinder shooting.

• Camera may auto power off if idle (unless disabled). Live View ends automatically after 30 mins if Auto Power Off is disabled.

• HDMI output is possible, but check video system setting (NTSC/PAL).

• Holding the camera in one position for long periods may cause discomfort or low-temperature burns, even if it doesn’t feel hot. Use a tripod in hot conditions or if you have circulation issues/poor skin sensation.

• Exp.SIM (White): Live View image brightness closely matches the actual exposure result.

• Exp.SIM (Blinking): Live View image brightness differs from the actual result (due to very low or bright light). The recorded image will reflect the actual exposure settings. Noise may be more noticeable on the preview.

• Exp.SIM (Gray): Exposure simulation is not performed. This occurs in SCN: 􀤛 modes, when Multi Shot Noise Reduction is set, when flash is used, or during bulb exposure. The image is displayed at standard brightness. The histogram may also be gray or inaccurate in these conditions, or in HDR modes.

*1: Displayed only when the AF method is set to [Face+Tracking]. If another AF method is set, the “Non-portrait” icon will be displayed even if a person is detected.

Note: Starting Sensor Cleaning or acquiring Dust Delete Data will stop Live View shooting. Press the Live View button to restart it.

You can change the aspect ratio for shooting. The default is [3:2]. When [4:3], [16:9], or [1:1] is selected, the area outside the chosen aspect ratio is masked in black on the Live View screen.

• **JPEG images:** Saved with the selected aspect ratio.

• **RAW images:** Always saved with the [3:2] aspect ratio. However, the selected aspect ratio information is added to the RAW file. Using Canon’s Digital Photo Professional software, you can generate an image with the aspect ratio set during shooting.

During playback, lines indicating the [4:3], [16:9], or [1:1] aspect ratio appear but are not drawn on the actual image file.

The approximate pixel counts for different aspect ratios and image qualities are:

* The image-recording quality and aspect ratio with an asterisk do not exactly match the indicated ratio.

Note: The displayed image area for asterisked ratios might differ slightly from the actual captured area. Check captured images.

You can select the AF operation (One-Shot AF or Servo AF) to suit the subject in Creative Zone modes during Live View. In Basic Zone modes, the optimal AF operation is set automatically.

1. Press the button to display the Quick Control screen.

2. Select [ONE SHOT] (or current AF operation): Use the <▲><▼> keys to highlight the AF operation setting on the left side of the screen.

3. Select the desired AF operation: Press the <◄><►> keys to choose between [ONE SHOT] (One-Shot AF) or [SERVO] (Servo AF), then press .

4. Focus on the subject: Aim the AF point over the subject and press the shutter button halfway. The camera will autofocus using the selected operation.

Note: This setting is only for Live View still shooting, not movie shooting. If focus fails, the AF point turns orange; recompose and try again.

One-Shot AF is suited for **still subjects**.

• When you press the shutter button halfway, the camera focuses only once.

• Once focus is achieved, the AF point turns green, and the beeper sounds (if enabled).

• The focus remains locked as long as you hold the shutter button halfway, allowing you to recompose the shot before taking the picture.

• In continuous shooting mode (<[]>), the maximum speed is approx. 5.0 shots/sec.

• With flash, continuous shooting speed slows down (max. approx. 1.4 shots/sec).

Note: If the beep is disabled in the menu, it won’t sound upon achieving focus.

Servo AF is suited for **moving subjects**.

• While you hold the shutter button halfway, the camera continuously focuses on the subject.

• When focus is achieved, the AF point turns blue.

• In continuous shooting mode (<[]>), the maximum speed is approx. 3.5 shots/sec, prioritizing subject tracking.

• With flash, continuous shooting speed slows down (max. approx. 1.4 shots/sec).

• Exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.

• When AF method is set to [Face+Tracking], focusing continues as long as the Area AF frame tracks the subject.

Notes:

• Correct focus may not be achieved depending on the lens, subject distance, and speed.

• Zooming during continuous shooting may cause focus to be lost; zoom first, then recompose and shoot.

• The beeper does not sound when focus is achieved with Servo AF.

You can choose an AF method ([Face+Tracking], [Smooth zone], or [Live 1-point AF]) to suit your shooting conditions and subject.

You can select it using either the Menu or the Quick Control screen:

• **Via Menu:** Go to the [SHOOT5] tab (or [SHOOT2] in Basic Zones), select [AF method], choose your desired method, and press .

• **Via Quick Control:** While in Live View, press the button, navigate to the AF method option, select the desired method using <◄><►> keys, and press or resume shooting.

Notes:

• These instructions assume [One Shot AF] is set. With [Servo AF], the AF point turns blue upon focus.

• In SCN mode , Servo AF is set automatically; the AF point turns blue and the beeper sounds upon focus.

• For precise focus, consider using manual focus (MF) with image magnification.

This method automatically detects and focuses on human faces. If a detected face moves, the AF point ([ ] symbol) moves to track it.

1. **Display Live View:** Press the Live View button. The Area AF frame appears.

2. **Check AF Point:**

• When a face is detected, an AF point <[ ]> appears over it.

• If multiple faces are detected, < < > > appears. Use the <◄><►> keys to move < < > > over the desired face.

• You can tap the screen to select a face or subject. Tapping a non-human subject switches the AF point to < >.

3. **Focus:** Press the shutter button halfway.

• If no face is detected or nothing is tapped, the camera focuses within the larger Area AF frame.

• When focus is achieved, the AF point turns green and the beeper sounds.

• If focus is not achieved, the AF point turns orange.

4. **Take Picture:** Press the shutter button fully.

**Focusing on a non-human subject:** If you press the button, an AF point < > appears at the center. Use the to move it. Once focus is achieved, this AF point will also track the subject if the composition changes or the subject moves.

Notes:

• Face detection may fail if the face is out of focus, very small/large, too bright/dark, or partially hidden.

• An object other than a human face might be mistakenly detected as a face.

• The AF point < > might only cover part of the face.

• Use the Area AF frame as a guide for focus range. AF point size varies.

This method uses a larger Zone AF frame compared to Live 1-point AF for focusing.

1. **Display Live View:** Press the Live View button.

2. **Select AF Point (Zone):**

• Use the (<▲><▼><◄><►>) to select a zone.

• Press the button to return the zone to the center.

• You can also touch the screen to move the Zone AF frame.

3. **Focus:** Aim the Zone AF frame over the subject and press the shutter button halfway.

• When focus is achieved, the AF point(s) within the zone turn green, and the beeper sounds.

• If focus is not achieved, the Zone AF frame turns orange.

4. **Take Picture:** Press the shutter button fully.

This method uses a single, movable AF point for precise focusing on a specific subject part.

1. **Display Live View:** Press the Live View button. The AF point < > appears.

2. **Move AF Point:**

• Use the (<▲><▼><◄><►>) to move the AF point where you want to focus (cannot go to the very edge).

• Press the button to return the AF point to the center.

• You can also touch the screen to move the AF point.

3. **Focus:** Aim the AF point over the subject and press the shutter button halfway.

• When focus is achieved, the AF point turns green, and the beeper sounds.

• If focus is not achieved, the AF point turns orange.

4. **Take Picture:** Press the shutter button fully.

Note: During movie shooting with Movie Servo AF enabled, a larger AF point may be displayed.

• **AF Operation:**

• Pressing the shutter button halfway will refocus, even if focus was already achieved.

• Image brightness might change during/after AF.

• Focusing may take longer, or continuous shooting speed may decrease depending on subject/conditions.

• If the light source changes, the screen might flicker, making focusing difficult. Exit Live View and perform AF under the actual light source if this occurs.

• **Focusing Issues:**

• If AF fails, switch the lens to and focus manually.

• If shooting a subject at the edge of the frame that is slightly out of focus, recompose with the subject (and AF point) closer to the center, focus, then recompose again before shooting.

• **AF-Assist Beam:** The camera’s AF-assist beam does not fire in Live View. However, an EX-series Speedlite with an LED light may use its LED for AF-assist.

• **Lens Compatibility:** Some lenses may take longer to focus or may not achieve accurate focus with AF in Live View.

Focusing can be challenging under the following conditions:

• Low-contrast subjects (e.g., blue sky, solid-colored flat surfaces, clipped highlights/shadows).

• Subjects in low light.

• Patterns with contrast only in the horizontal direction (e.g., stripes).

• Subjects with repetitive patterns (e.g., skyscraper windows, keyboards).

• Fine lines and subject outlines.

• Light sources with changing brightness, color, or patterns.

• Night scenes or points of light.

• Images flickering under fluorescent or LED lighting.

• Extremely small subjects.

• Subjects at the edge of the screen.

• Strongly backlit or reflective subjects (e.g., shiny car bodies).

• Both near and distant subjects covered by a single AF point (e.g., animal in a cage).

• Subjects moving within the AF point that won’t stay still (due to camera shake or subject blur).

• Performing AF when the subject is significantly out of focus.

• Using a soft focus lens or filter effect.

• Using a special effect filter.

• When noise (dots of light, banding) appears on the screen during AF.

In [Smooth zone] and [Live 1-point AF] modes, you can magnify the image by approx. 5x or 10x to check focus. Magnified view is not possible with [Face+Tracking].

• **Activate Magnification:** Press the button or tap the [Magnify icon] on the bottom right of the screen.

• **Change Magnification:** Each press of the button or tap on the [Magnify icon] cycles through normal view, approx. 5x, and approx. 10x magnification.

• **Positioning the Magnifying Frame:**

• In [Smooth zone], the frame appears at the center of the Zone AF frame.

• In [Live 1-point AF], it appears around the AF point.

• You can move the AF point/magnifying frame location by pressing the or tapping the screen *before* magnifying.

• **Moving the Magnified Area:** While magnified (5x or 10x), use the or tap the triangles on the screen edges to pan the view. Press the button to return the magnified view to the center.

• **Focusing in Magnified View:**

• For [Live 1-point AF], pressing the shutter button halfway performs AF within the magnified view.

• For [Smooth zone], pressing the shutter button halfway returns to normal view for focusing.

• With Servo AF, pressing the shutter halfway in magnified view returns the camera to normal view for focusing.

Notes:

• If focusing is difficult in magnified view, return to normal view to perform AF.

• Performing AF in normal view then magnifying may result in less accurate focus indication.

• AF speed differs between normal and magnified views.

• Movie Servo AF does not function in magnified view.

• Camera shake makes focusing harder in magnified view; using a tripod is recommended.

Touch Shutter allows you to focus and take a picture automatically just by tapping on the LCD monitor screen.

1. **Display Live View:** Press the Live View button.

2. **Enable Touch Shutter:** Tap the [Touch icon] on the screen’s bottom left. It toggles between:

3. **Tap to Shoot (if enabled):**

• Tap the face or subject on the screen.

• The camera focuses on the tapped point using the currently set AF method (p.214-219 in PDF). If [Smooth zone] is set, it switches to [Live 1-point AF] for the touch focus.

• When focus is achieved, the AF point turns green, and the picture is taken automatically.

• If focus is not achieved, the AF point turns orange, and the picture cannot be taken. Tap the face or subject again.

Notes:

• The camera shoots in single shooting mode even if the drive mode is set to continuous.

• If AF operation is set to [Servo AF], tapping focuses using [One-Shot AF].

• Tapping in magnified view does not focus or take a picture.

• With Fish-eye effect filter, the camera focuses at the center regardless of where you tap.

• Touch Shutter does not work with the Miniature effect filter.

• You can also enable/disable Touch Shutter via [SHOOT5: Touch Shutter] menu (or [SHOOT2] in Basic Zones).

Manual focus allows for precise focusing, often aided by magnifying the image.

1. **Set Lens to MF:** Set the lens’s focus mode switch to .

2. **Rough Focus:** Turn the lens focusing ring to get the subject approximately in focus.

3. **Display Magnifying Frame:** Press the button. A magnifying frame will appear on the screen.

4. **Move Magnifying Frame:** Use the (<▲><▼><◄><►>) to move the frame over the area you want to focus on precisely. Press to center it.

5. **Magnify Image:** Press the button repeatedly to cycle through magnifications (e.g., 1x → 5x → 10x → Normal view). You can also tap the [Magnify icon] on screen.

6. **Focus Manually:** While viewing the magnified image, carefully turn the lens focusing ring until the desired area is sharp.

7. **Return to Normal View:** After achieving focus, press the button until you return to the normal (1x) view.

8. **Take Picture:** Check focus and exposure, then press the shutter button completely.

Notes:

• In magnified view, exposure is locked (shutter speed and aperture displayed in orange/red). The picture is captured based on the normal view’s exposure settings and area.

• You can still use the Touch Shutter (tap to take picture, no AF) even with manual focusing.

• **Image Quality:**

• High ISO speeds can cause noise (dots of light, banding).

• High temperatures can cause noise and irregular colors.

• Prolonged continuous Live View use raises internal temperature, potentially degrading image quality. Exit Live View when not shooting.

• Long exposures at high internal temperatures can also degrade image quality. Let the camera cool down before such shots.

• **Internal Temperature Warning Icons:**

• A white thermometer icon [<0>] appears if internal temperature rises significantly due to prolonged use or high ambient temperature, indicating potential image quality degradation for stills. It’s recommended to temporarily exit Live View to let the camera cool.

• A red thermometer icon [<0>] indicates Live View shooting will soon stop automatically. You cannot shoot again until the camera cools down. Exit Live View or turn off the power and let it rest.

• Using Live View at high temperatures for extended periods causes these icons to appear sooner. Turn off the camera when not shooting.

• High ISO or long exposure image quality may deteriorate even before the white icon appears if the camera’s internal temperature is high.

• **Shooting Results:**

• Exposure in magnified view might not match the final image. Return to normal view before taking the picture.

• Using TS-E lenses (except TS-E17mm f/4L or TS-E24mm f/3.5L II) for shifts/tilts or using an extension tube may result in non-standard or irregular exposure.

• **Live View Image Appearance:**

• In low or bright light, the Live View image brightness may not accurately reflect the captured image’s brightness.

• Noise may be visible in the Live View image in low light, even at low ISO, but the recorded image will typically have less noise.

• If the light source changes, the screen might flicker. Exit and re-enter Live View under the actual light source.

• Pointing the camera in a different direction might temporarily affect brightness accuracy. Wait for it to stabilize.

• Very bright light sources might appear black on the LCD, but will be recorded correctly.

• Setting LCD brightness high in low light might cause noise/irregular colors to appear on screen, but they won’t be recorded.

• Magnified images might look sharper on screen than the actual captured image.

• If shutter speed is 1 sec. or slower, “BUSY” appears, and the Live View display pauses until exposure is complete.

• **Custom Functions:** Some Custom Function settings won’t take effect during Live View shooting.

• **Lens and Flash:**

• If using a lens with Image Stabilizer (IS) switched ON, IS operates continuously in Live View (even without half-pressing shutter), consuming battery power. Turn IS OFF () when not needed (e.g., on a tripod).

• Focus preset function is only available in Live View with specific (super) telephoto lenses released after mid-2011.

• FE lock doesn’t work with the built-in flash. FE lock and modeling flash don’t work with an external Speedlite.

When the shooting mode dial is set to any mode other than M (Manual), SCN (Special Scene), or Creative Filters, the camera automatically controls exposure based on scene brightness.

• **P, Tv, Av Modes:** ISO speed is set automatically within ISO 100 – 12800. The maximum limit can be adjusted via the [ISO Auto] menu setting. If C.Fn [ISO expansion] is enabled, the maximum can be extended to H (25600) for ISO Auto. If C.Fn [Highlight tone priority] is enabled, the range becomes ISO 200 – 12800.

• **M Mode:**

• With ISO set to [AUTO], it behaves like P/Tv/Av modes (ISO 100-12800 auto, limit adjustable, H(25600) possible with expansion, 200-12800 with HTP).

• You can set ISO manually within ISO 100 – 12800 in whole stops. If C.Fn [ISO expansion] is enabled, you can also manually select H (equivalent to ISO 25600). If C.Fn [Highlight tone priority] is enabled, the manual range becomes ISO 200 – 12800.

Note: Always check ISO settings when switching from stills to movies. Shooting at H (25600) may result in significant noise.

Yes, during movie shooting in Basic Zone modes (except and ), an icon representing the scene detected by the camera (similar to A+ stills mode) is displayed in the upper left. The shooting is performed to suit the detected scene. The icons displayed are similar to those for still shooting in A+ mode but may have slight variations, especially regarding portrait detection during time-lapse.

*1: Displayed only when AF method is [Face+Tracking]. Otherwise, non-portrait icon is shown. During time-lapse, non-portrait icon is shown even if a person is detected.

*2: Displayed if lens provides distance info. May not match actual scene with extension tubes/close-up lenses.

*3: Icon selected from detectable scenes is displayed.

Note: The displayed icon may not match the actual scene under certain conditions.

1. Go to menu [SETUP1: Select folder].

2. Select [Create folder] and press .

3. On the confirmation screen, select [OK] and press .

A new folder is created with the folder number incremented by one (e.g., if the last folder was 100CANON, the new one will be 101CANON). This new folder is automatically selected for subsequent image saving.

• **Camera Naming:** Folder names start with a three-digit number (100-999) followed by five alphanumeric characters (e.g., 100CANON). Each folder can hold up to 9999 images (file number 0001-9999).

• **Automatic Creation:** When a folder becomes full (reaches 9999 images), a new folder with an incremented number is created automatically.

• **Manual Reset:** Performing a manual file numbering reset also creates a new folder automatically.

• **Computer Creation:** You can create folders on the card using a computer. Inside the main “DCIM” folder, create folders following the “100ABC_D” format (3-digit number 100-999, then 5 characters A-Z, 0-9, or underscore “_”). Spaces are not allowed. Two folders cannot share the same 3-digit number, even if the last five characters differ.

Images are numbered sequentially from 0001 to 9999 within a folder. You can change how this numbering behaves via menu [SETUP1: File numbering] > [Numbering].

• **[Continuous]:** File numbering continues sequentially (up to 9999) even if you replace the memory card or create a new folder. If the new card/folder already contains images, numbering continues from the highest existing number. Useful for organizing images from multiple cards/folders into one later. Use a newly formatted card for best results with this setting.

• **[Auto reset]:** File numbering restarts from 0001 each time you replace the memory card or create a new folder. Useful for organizing images by card or folder. If the new card/folder already has images, numbering may continue from the highest existing number; use a newly formatted card to ensure numbering starts from 0001.

• **[Manual reset]:** Go to [SETUP1: File numbering] > [Manual reset]. Select [OK]. This immediately creates a new folder and resets the file number to 0001 for the next image saved in that folder. The numbering setting ([Continuous] or [Auto reset]) resumes after the reset. Useful for separating images taken on different days into different folders.

Note: If folder 999 is created and file number 9999 is reached, shooting becomes impossible even with card space. Replace the card. Still image files start with “IMG_”, movies with “MVI_”. Extensions are .JPG (JPEG), .CR2 (RAW), .MOV/.MP4 (Movie).
