Nikon Digital Cameras manual Folder Names

4 Folders saved in the camera’s memory card are represented by a roll film icon.

Double-click the folder icon.

Folder Names

When displayed in Nikon View, folders created with the camera are pre- fixed by a three digit folder number. Thus, the default folder, which when viewed from the camera menus has the name “NIKON” is displayed in NikonView as “100NIKON”. Each folder can hold up to 999 image files. If this number is exceeded, the camera will create a new folder with the same name but a different prefix (e.g.,“101NIKON”). When viewed on a computer, folders with the same name but a different prefix appear as separate folders. When viewed from the camera menus, however, folders with the same name appear to be the same folder, although the full folder name with prefix appears in the photo information display in playback mode.

The image files in the selected folder will appear as thumb- nail images.

From this thumbnail view, still images can be viewed at full resolution, printed, copied or deleted. In addition, movie files can be played, copied or deleted. See the following chapter for details.

The camera’s memory card is treated as “read-only” when browsing in Nikon View. Files can not be copied from other folders to the browsing window, nor can files be saved to the camera after editing in another application. The file names displayed in the browsing window can not be changed. Should you wish to change a file name, do so after copying the image file to disk.
