Picture Naming Conventions
Still pictures are named DCP_nnnn.JPG or DCP_nnnn.TIF, where nnnn represents a picture number between 0001 and 9999. Pictures are numbered in the order in which they are taken. For example, the first picture in the \DCIM\100K4800 folder is DCP_0001.JPG. The camera maintains a count of the number of pictures taken, which is used to determine the number of the next picture taken.
Burst pictures (still pictures taken in rapid succession when the camera is in Burst Mode) are named Bmm_nnnn.JPG, where mm is a burst number from 00 to 99, and nnnn is a sequence number within the burst.
Even if you transfer pictures to the computer or delete pictures from the Picture Card, the camera uses consecutive numbers for all subsequent pictures. For example, if the last picture taken was DCP_0007.JPG, the next picture is DCP_0008.JPG.
The nnnn sequence number for a burst continues in the same way. A burst of four pictures taken after DCP_0008 are named B01_0009 through B01_0012.
When you insert a different Picture Card into your camera, the next picture number is derived by incrementing the higher of the last picture taken by the camera, or the highest existing picture number in the folder on the card.
When you insert the Picture Card into a different DC4800 camera, the next picture number is derived by incrementing either the highest existing picture number or the highest picture number previously
mtaken by that camera.
After you take picture DCP_9999.JPG in the \DCIM\100K4800 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder (\DCIM\101K4800) on the Picture Card, beginning with picture DCP_0001.JPG.
