Existing folders cannot be renamed.

If desired, the default name can be restored for subsequent folders by pressing and holding the O (Q) button while the keyboard is displayed.
Select Folder by Number
The folder in which subsequent pictures will be stored can be selected by number. If a folder with the specified number does not already exist, a new folder will be created.
-
Choose [].
-
Highlight [] and press 2 to display the [] dialog.
-
The card on which the new folder will be created is underlined in the card slot display area at the top right corner of the [] dialog. The card used for new folders depends on the option currently selected for [] in the photo shooting menu.

If a folder with the selected number already exists, a W, X, or Y icon will be displayed to the left of the folder number. Press J to complete the operation and return to the main menu; if you chose a folder marked W or X, it will be selected as the folder for new pictures.
-
If you chose a folder number that does not already exist, a new folder will be created with that number when you press J.
-
In either case, subsequent pictures will be stored in the chosen folder.
-
To exit without changing the storage folder, press the G button.
-
Folders in the [] dialog are shown by W if empty, by Y if full (containing either 5000 pictures or a picture numbered 9999), or by X if partially full. A Y icon indicates that no further pictures can be stored in the folder.

To choose from a list of existing folders:
-
Choose [].
Highlight [] and press 2 to display the [] dialog.

Press 1 or 3 to highlight a folder.

Once the folder number has reached 999, the camera will stop creating new folders automatically and disable the shutter release if:
-
the number of files in the folder reaches 5000 (or during movie recording, if camera calculates that the addition of the number of files needed to create a movie of maximum length would bring the total over 5000), or
-
the file number reaches 9999 (or during movie recording, when camera calculates that the number of files needed to create a movie of maximum length would result in a file numbered higher than 9999).
-
-
If there is space on the memory card, you will nevertheless be able to continue shooting by:
-
creating a folder with a number less than 999 and selecting it as the storage folder, or
-
changing the options selected for [] and [] before recording movies.
-
Additional time may be required for camera startup if the memory card contains a very large number of files or folders.
