ascending order, starting with “0001”)

•Files are stored in folders automatically named with a three-digit folder number followed by NIKON (e.g. “100NIKON”). 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. (e.g. “100NIKON” → “101NIKON”). If a picture is taken when the current file is numbered 9999, a new folder will also be created and the new file number is returned to 0001.

•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 (A38) (e.g. “101P_001”) and file numbers will be assigned automatically starting with “0001”.

•If files are copied between the internal memory and the memory card (A89), the files are named as follows.

•Selected images: The image data is copied in the current folder (or the folder to be used in the next time shooting). The newly copied pictures are numbered consecutively from the largest number available in the internal memory or memory card.

•All images: All the pictures in the folder are copied with the same file numbers. New folder numbers are assigned in ascending order starting from the largest folder number available. The file names are not changed.

•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 memory card is replaced with a new one or the medium is formatted (A85).
