Rename
Folders are identified by a 5-character folder name preceded by a 3-digit folder number assigned automatically by the camera. The default folder name is “D7500”; to change the name assigned to new folders, select Rename and rename the folder as described in “Text Entry” (0 Text Entry). If desired, the default name can be restored by pressing and holding the O (Q) button while the keyboard is displayed. Existing folders can not be renamed.
Text Entry
A dialog is displayed when text entry is required. Tap the letters on the touch-screen keyboard. You can also use the multi selector to highlight the desired character in the keyboard area and press J to insert the highlighted character at the current cursor position (note that if a character is entered when the field is full, the last character in the field will be deleted). To delete the character under the cursor, press the O (Q) button. To move the cursor to a new position, tap the display or hold the W (Z) button and press 4 or 2. To complete entry and return to the previous menu, press the X (T) button. To exit without completing text entry, press G.

Folder and File Numbers
If the current folder is numbered 999 and contains 999 pictures or a photo numbered 9999, the shutter-release will be disabled and no further photographs can be taken (in addition, movie recording may be disabled if the current folder is numbered 999 and the next file would be the 992nd or numbered 9992 or higher). To continue shooting, create a folder with a number less than 999 or try changing the options selected for Frame size/frame rate and Movie quality (0 Frame Size/Frame Rate).
Startup Time
Additional time may be required for camera startup if the memory card contains a very large number of files or folders.
