Function Setting
Format Quickly erases all images and movies from the card.
This is my preferred method of emptying the card.
(Section 9.20)
File Number Specifies whether the camera resets the file
number scheme when you change memory cards. I
prefer “Series”. (Section 9.21)
Select REC Folder If there is more than one directory for holding still
images on the memory card, this function lets you
choose which one future images will be stored in.
(Section 9.22)
New Folder Create a new folder to hold new stills. (Section
9.23)
Folder Name Lets you choose between a cryptic-looking folder
name, and one containing the date the images
were shot (but in a format that is not computer-
sortable). I prefer “Standard Form”. (Section 9.24)
Recover Image DB Attempts to recover from a corrupted movie
database while it’s still on the card. (Section 9.25)

Toolbox menu 6
Function Setting
Display Media Info. Shows you approx. how many more stills can fit on
