The first and last pictures in memory are linked. Pressing the multi selector up or left when the first picture in memory is displayed will take you to the last picture. Pressing the multi selector down or right when the last picture is displayed takes you to the first picture.

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")

	Picture type	Identifier	Extension	Q
Original	Still picture	DSCN	.JPG	22
	Movie	DSCN	.MOV	64
	Small copy	SSCN	.JPG	83
Copy	Cropped copy	RSCN	.JPG	44
	Copy created with	FSCN	.JPG	45
	the D-Lighting function
Voice memo		DSCN
appended to	Voice memo	SSCN	.WAV	47
still picture		RSCN
(E5600 only)		FSCN

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 the picture is transferred to a computer.

Pictures are stored in folders created automatically by the camera and named with a three-digit fold- er number followed by "NIKON" (e.g., "100NIKON"). Folders can hold up to 200 pictures; if you take a picture when the current folder contains 200 pictures, a new folder will be created by adding one to the current folder number. 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 the number of files reaches 200 or file numbering reaches 9999 when the memory or memory card contains a folder numbered 999, no further pictures can be taken until the memory or memory card has been formatted (Q97) or a new memory card inserted.
