DFile Number Sequence

If the current folder is numbered 999 and contains either 999 photographs or a photograph numbered 9999, the shutter-release button will be disabled and no further photographs can be taken. Choose Reset for Custom Setting d4 (File number sequence) and then either format the current memory card or insert a new memory card.

AFile Names

Photographs are stored as image files with names of the form “DSC_nnnn.xxx,” where nnnn is a four-digit number between 0001 and 9999 assigned automatically in ascending order by the camera, and xxx is one of the following three-letter extensions: “NEF” for NEF (RAW) images, “JPG” for JPEG images, or “MOV” for movies. The NEF and JPEG files recorded at a setting of NEF (RAW)+JPEG have the same file names but different extensions. Copies created with image overlay (0 211) and movie edit options (0 131) have file names beginning with “DSC_” ; copies created with the other options in the retouch menu have file names beginning with “CSC” (e.g., “CSC_0001.JPG”). Images recorded with the Color space option in the shooting menu set to Adobe RGB (0 179) have names that begin with an underscore (e.g., “_DSC0001.JPG”).
