•Files are stored in folders named with a folder number followed by a five character identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for pictures taken using panorama assist (e.g., “101P_001”; c 38), “SOUND” for voice recordings (e.g., “101SOUND”; c 52), and “NIKON” for all other pictures (e.g., “100NIKON”). When the num- ber of files within a folder reaches 9999, a new folder will be cre- ated. File numbers will be assigned automatically starting with “0001”.

•Files copied using [Copy] > [Selected images] or [Copy sound files] > [Selected files] are copied to the current folder, where they are assigned new file numbers in ascending order starting from the larg- est file number in memory. [Copy] > [All images] and [Copy sound files] > [Copy all files] copy all folders from the source medium; file names do not change but new folder numbers are assigned in ascending order starting from the largest folder number on the des- tination medium (c 56, 86).

•Folders can hold up to 200 pictures; if a picture is taken when the current folder contains 200 pictures, a new folder will be created by adding one to the current folder number. If a picture is taken when the current folder is numbered 999 and contains 200 pictures or a picture numbered 9999, no further pictures can be taken until the medium is formatted (c 98) or a new memory card inserted.
