SEQ.XFER

Photographs taken by the COOLPIX 950 are stored as image files. Each file is assigned a name which includes a four-digit number. Because no two photographs on any given memory card will have the same number at the same time, there is no possibility of confusion so long as you continue to use a single memory card without formatting it. If you format the card or use a new card, however, a previously-assigned number may be used again. If you then copy the new photograph to a computer on which you had saved the earlier photograph, the earlier photograph may be overwritten. This can be prevented using the SEQ.XFER option.

The following SEQ.XFER settings are available:
