Image File and Folder Names

Technical Notes

Pictures, movies, and voice memos are assigned 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”).

Originals	Identifier*	Extension
Still picture	DSCN	.JPG
Movie	DSCN	.MOV
Voice memo	DSCN	.WAV
Copies	Identifier*	Extension
Cropped copy	RSCN	.JPG
Small copy	SSCN	.JPG
D-Lighting copy	FSCN	.JPG
Voice memo	Same as picture	.WAV

*The identifier is not displayed, but is visible when the picture is transferred to a com- puter.

Pictures are stored in folders named with a three-digit folder number fol- lowed by a five-character identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for pictures taken using panorama assist (e.g., “101P_001”; c 42) and “NIKON” for all other pictures (e.g., “100NIKON”). Folders can hold up to 200 pictures; if a picture is taken when the current folder contains 200 pic- tures, a new folder will be created by adding one to the current folder num- ber. 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.
