File number (assigned automatically in ascending order, starting with “0001”)

Files are saved in folders named with a folder number followed by “NIKON” (e.g. “100NIKON”). A single folder can hold up to 200 images; if the current folder already contains 200 images, a new folder, named by adding one to the current folder name, is created the next time an image is captured (e.g. “100NIKON” “101NIKON”). When the number of files within a folder reaches 9999, a new folder is created. File numbers are assigned automatically starting with 0001.

Files copied using Copy > Selected images are copied to the current folder, where they are assigned new file numbers in ascending order starting from the largest file number in memory. Copy > All images copies 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 destination medium (E50).
