Picture Naming Conventi ons
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 ta ken, which is used to determ ine the number of the
next picture taken.
Burst pictures (still pict ures taken in rapid succ ession 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 se quence number within the b urst.
Even if you transfer pictures to the computer or delete pictures from
the Picture Card, the ca mera uses consecutive nu mbers 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 aft er DCP_0008 are named B01_0009
through B01_0012.
When you insert a different Pictu re Card into your camera, the next
picture number is deri ved by incrementing the higher of the las t
picture taken by the camera, or the highest e xisting picture number in
the folder on the card.
When you insert the Pict ure Card into a different D C4800 camera, the
next picture number is derived by incrementing either the highest
existing picture num ber or the highest pi cture number previous ly
taken 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.
