Firstly, I know this will have been asked before and I'm sure the answer is out there but I can't find it!
I've been out tonight for my first proper hike with my lovely new K-1 and I was shooting to RAW on one card and JPEG on the other....aren't JPEGs rubbish! Anyway, when I got home I found that instead of having one folder on each of tonight's shoot, I've got about 20 separate folders. I was shooting lots of composite images of lovely waterfalls and things like that, but I'm wondering if it's really necessary or beneficial to have them stored in separate folders? Perhaps it's the only way to keep to individual shots of a composite image together. Is there any way to simplify the structure from a day's shoot though?
Thanks
I'm a bit confused by your statement that you have 20 folders. My K-1 creates a folder for each day, and that days shots go into that folder. If shooting is done the next day, those files will be in a new folder. I believe this happens even if the camera is not turned off (new folder at midnight). I was unaware that each folder has a limit of 500 files since I have never shot that many in a single day so that was something I learned in this thread.
If you want to group shots from a single day, you would need to pop the card into a computer and create sub folders and drop the files in those, but the K-1 will only provide grouping-by-day folders - mine did that from the git-go after I first got my K-1 without my changing any menu items.
