Using Folders (A-REC, M-REC)

	By default, photographs taken with the COOLPIX 950 are stored
CONCEPT	in the memory card in a folder labeled NIKON. To make it easier
	to locate photographs during playback, you can create additional
	folders and organize your photographs by theme. The FOLDERS
	menu enables you to select the folder in which subsequent
	photographs will be stored or choose the folder from which
	photographs will be played back. You can also create folders,
	rename existing folders, or delete folders.
PRACTICE	To access the folder menu for A-REC and M-REC modes:
	1 Turn the mode dial to A-REC or M-REC.
	2 Press the MENU button. The menu for
	the current operating mode will be dis-
	played.

Selecting a Folder

If more than one folder exists on the memory card, you can select the folder that will be used for playback or to store subsequent photographs in A-REC and M-REC modes. To select a folder, simply highlight it using the zoom buttons and press the shutter-release button. Except in the case of the default folder, NIKON, the name of the current folder is displayed at upper right in the LCD monitor. Photographs are stored in the folder shown in the LCD monitor at the time the photograph is taken.

The file structure used when photos are recorded to the memory card conforms to the Design Rule for Camera File Systems. In this system, folder names consist of a three-digit folder number followed by the folder name (e.g, “100NIKON”). Each folder can in theory hold up to 999 images (it may hold less, depending on the size of the card and other factors). Should a folder fill up, another folder will automatically be created with the same name but a different folder number (e.g., “101NIKON”) and subsequent photos stored in the new folder. For most purposes, the folder number can be ignored; when viewed from the camera, all folders with the same name are the same folder. In other words, the camera will show folders with the same folder name (e.g., “100NIKON” and “101NIKON”) as a single folder with no folder number (e.g., “NIKON”). Folders with the same name but different folder numbers will however be shown as separate folders when the contents of memory are viewed using a computer (see the Nikon View Reference Manual for details). If you have trouble locating a photo on a computer, you can play it back on the camera, where the full folder number and name are included in the photo info.
