•Image file names created by the camera are named DSCN0001.JPG to DSCN9999.JPG within a given folder. If and when the image file number in the 100NIKON folder reaches 9999, the COOLPIX995 automatically creates a new folder called 101NIKON, and in that folder, new image files starting from DSCN0001.JPG are stored.

•Images are stored in RGB TIFF (Red, Green and Blue Tagged Image File Format) format when the image is taken in HI (no compression) mode. TIFF files are not compressed and represent the highest possible Image quality.

•Images are stored in MOV (QuickTime Movie) format when the images are taken in Movie mode (p. 83).

info.txt

•info.txt can only be viewed when the CF memory card is directly read to the computer and is not available when connecting the camera by USB. However, Nikon View 4 can copy this information into a special part of the image file called the IPTC text. This information can be read in certain applications such as Fotostation and Photoshop (Full versions). To read this picture data when connected by USB, set Nikon View 4 to copy the “Exif” data into the Caption field of the IPTC test area, This information does NOT appear in the image.
