LUMIX - How to set the Folder and File names - DC-GH5

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.

Notes for DC-G9, DC-GX9, DC-G100

Each folder can store up to 1000 files.
File numbers are assigned sequentially from 0001 to 9999 in the order of recording. If you change the storage folder, a continuing number from the last file number will be assigned.
In the following cases, a new folder with an incremented folder number will be created automatically when the next file is saved:
- The current folder contains 1000 files
- The current folder contains a file with the file number “9999”
- 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
