Once created, copies are independent of the original: deleting a copy has no effect on the original, deleting the original no effect on the copy. Copies are stored on the memory card as independent files with names of the form “SSCNnnnn.JPG,” where “nnnn” is a four-digit number assigned automati- cally by the camera. Copies will have the same transfer marking as the origi- nals; print and protect attributes, however, must be set separately.

In thumbnail playback and review, copies are indicated by a gray border. Copies can not be viewed using playback zoom ( 81); pressing the () button when a copy is displayed has no effect.

It is known for its portability and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for casual photographers and those just beginning their journey into digital photography.

One of the standout features of the COOLPIX 2500 is its 2.0-megapixel image sensor, which allows users to capture decent quality images for that time. Although the resolution may seem modest by today’s standards, it was suitable for printing 4x6 inch photos and sharing images online in the early 2000s. The camera also boasts an 8x digital zoom, which provides users with the flexibility to capture distant subjects without the need for an additional lens.

The camera also features a 1.5-inch LCD display, enabling users to preview their shots instantly.
