File number (assigned automatically in ascending order, starting with “0001”)

Files are saved in folders named with a folder number followed by “NIKON” (e.g. “100NIKON”). When the number of files within a folder reaches 999, a new folder is created (e.g., “101NIKON” is created after “100NIKON”). When the file numbers within a folder reach 9999, a new folder is created. File numbers are assigned automatically starting with 0001. When shooting, a new folder is created each time the camera’s internal clock changes dates. Note however that if the date changes while shooting continuously with Shoot at intervals or Take a series of pictures, a new folder is not created until shooting stops.

Voice message file numbers are the same numbers as the images to which the messages are attached.
