CHANGING OTHER SETTINGS 
This section explains how to change the setting of basic 
camera operation to your desired settings. 
FILE NUMBERING SYSTEM 
Stored data is automatically assigned file numbers from 0001 to 9999.   
When data is being reviewed, the file number of each image is 
displayed in the right corner on the color LCD monitor (see P. 8 6 ,  8 9 ). 
The file number is also incorporated into the filename of the image. 
The filename consists of “SDIM” followed by the 4-digit file number and 
extension. For example: image number 0023 will be stored in the file 
SDIM0023.X3F. All DP3 Merrill image files will be stored to ###SIGMA 
folder of the DCIM folder in the card. 
● When [Adobe RGB] is selected from [  Shooting Menu] (P. 2 8)  → 
[Color space], the filename will consist of “_SDI” instead of “SDIM”. 
● File numbering can be continuous, or can be reset every time an 
empty card is detected. The File Numbering can be set from 
[
Camera Settings] (P. 28)  →  [File Numbering]. 
FILE NUMBERING OPTIONS 
Continuous 
(Default) 
Numbering is continuous. The first file number assigned 
on an empty card will be one higher than the last 
assigned number. (If the inserted card contains DP3 
Merrill images with file numbers greater than the last 
assigned number, file numbering will continue with one 
higher than the highest file number on the card.) 
Auto Reset 
Each time an empty card is inserted, or all images on 
the current card are deleted, the file number will reset to 
its default value of 0001. (If the inserted card already 
contains DP3 Merrill images, the file number will not be 
reset).
