Image File and Folder Names

In the memory or on the memory card, pictures are identified by file names with three parts: a four letter identifier, a four-digit file number assigned automatically by the camera in ascending order, and a three-letter extension (e.g., “DSCN0001.JPG”). When a picture is viewed in the monitor, the file number and extension appear in the top right corner of the display. The identifier is not displayed, but is visible when pic- tures are transferred to a computer.

Pictures are stored in a folder created automatically by the camera. The folder name includes a three-digit folder number (e.g., 100NIKON).

When the current folder is full (200 pictures) a new folder is automatically created. The new fold- er becomes the current folder, and its number is incremented by one (e.g., 100NIKON 101NIKON).

Each time you take pictures in Panorama assist mode, a “P_xxx” folder (e.g., “101P_001”) is au- tomatically created, and a series of pictures starting with “DSCN0001” are stored in the folder.

When you take pictures after switching the mode from Panorama assist mode, a new folder will be created, and newly taken pictures are stored in the folder.

If you take a picture when the current folder contains a picture numbered 9999, a new folder will be created and file numbering will begin again from 0001.

If file number reaches 200 or picture number reaches 9999 when the memory or the memory card contains a folder numbered 999, no further pictures can be taken, even if there is still mem- ory capacity. Replace the memory card, or transfer all pictures to a computer ( 60) and then format the memory or the memory card ( 119).

When the button is pressed in shooting mode, the picture with the largest number stored in the folder is displayed.
