In the Folder Select sub-menu, press the button to return to the playback menu.

Creating Multiple Folders

If you create several folders in succession using the New option and then choose Current from the Folder Select menu, only photographs in the most recently created folder will be displayed. You can not choose another folder for playback when using a camera in the D1x.

For example, suppose you create three folders in succession, 101NCD1X, 102NCD1X, and 103NCD1X. If you then choose Current, only photographs in 103NCD1X will be displayed. To view photographs in the other folders, you would need to choose NCD1X or All in the Folder Select menu.

Creating a New Folder at Startup

If you turn the camera on while pressing the button, a new folder will be created. After performing this operation, be sure that “1” is showing in the frame number display in the control panel on top of the camera before taking a photograph. If you take a photograph before the frame number display shows “1,” the photograph will be recorded in the last folder in use before the new folder was created. Note that no new folder will be created if the memory card already contains an empty folder. An error will occur if the camera is turned on

with the button held down when the current folder is numbered 999. If such an error

occurs, the letters will blink on and off in the control panel display on top of the camera.
