Picture File Naming Conventions
The camera maintains separate and sequential numbering sequences for the pictures in both the internal memory and on a Picture Card. Pictures are named DCP_nnnn.JPG, and are numbered in the order in which they are taken. The first picture is named DCP_0001.JPG; the highest number allowed is DCP_9999.JPG.
File Naming Conventions on a Picture Card
µWhen a Picture Card contains a picture named DCP_9999.JPG in the \DCIM\100K3500 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder (\DCIM\101K3500), beginning with picture DCP_0001.JPG.
µEven if you transfer pictures to the computer or delete pictures from the camera, the camera continues to use consecutive numbers for all subsequent pictures. For example, if the last picture taken was DCP_0007.JPG and you delete it, the next picture you take is named DCP_0008.JPG.
µWhen you insert a different Picture Card into your camera, the next picture number is defined by incrementing the higher of the last picture taken by the camera, or the highest existing picture number in the folder.
µIf you use the Picture Card in a camera other than the DX3500 camera, and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file structure standard, the \DCIM folder contains a folder named by that camera. For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanied that camera.
File Naming Conventions in Internal Memory
µThe camera’s internal memory contains your stored pictures, with no folders or subfolders.
µWhen you format the internal memory, the numbering sequence restarts at
