To move the cursor in the name area, press the button and rotate the main command dial. To enter a new letter at the current cursor position, use the multi selector to highlight the desired character in the keyboard area and press the button. To delete the character at the current cur- sor position, press the button. To return to the setup menu without creating a new folder, press the button.

Folder names can be up to five characters long. Any characters after the fifth will be deleted.

2 Press the button to create the folder and return to the setup menu. Until another folder is selected, all subsequent photographs will be stored in the new folder. The folder will also be used for playback when Cur- rent is selected in the Playback fldr menu ( 126).

Folder Names

On the memory card, folder names are preceded by a three-digit folder number as- signed automatically by the camera (e.g., 100ND70S) Each folder can contain up to 999 photographs. If a photograph is taken when the current folder contains 999 files or a picture numbered 9999, the camera will create a new folder by adding one to the current folder number (e.g., 101ND70S). For the purposes of selection and naming, all folders with the same name are treated as the same folder. For example, if the folder NIKON is selected, pictures in all folders named NIKON (100NIKON, 101NIKON, 102NIKON, etc.) will be visible when Current is selected in the Playback fldr menu ( 126). Renaming similarly applies to all folders with the same name. During shooting, pictures are stored in the highest-numbered folder with the selected name.
