LUMIX G9 Folder and File Naming

Notes for DC-GH5

• Each folder can store up to 999 files. If the number exceeds 999 files, a new folder with an incremented folder number will be created automatically.
• New folders cannot be created when there are folders numbered from 100 all the way up to 999. In this case, we recommend saving their data to a computer or similar device and formatting the card.
