Names of memory cards connected to a PC

•Depending on your specific PC and operating system, the name assigned to the connected memory card may vary. Common names are "UNTITLED (E:)" and "NO_NAME".

Shooting data folders and files on memory card

•The folders and files used to store the shooting data on the memory card (x 10) have the following structure (example shown is for the F6):

	For shooting data storage
Data reader folder	Camera model folder	Camera ID folder
nikon_dr	F6	ID012

Shooting data files

n00001.txt

n00002.txt

n00003.txt

For setting/changing recording mode of F5/F100

modelist

For details on these folders (x 21). modeset

•The camera model (F6, F5, F100) is automatically detected, and the camera model folder name automatically set.

•The camera ID folder name identifies the same model type.

The camera ID folder name is "IDxxx" where "xxx" is one of the following: F6: The ID number of the camera (000~999)

F5: “255” (fixed) (Changed ID number of the camera if the camera ID number

has been changed using the AC-1WE or AC-1ME Photo Secretary for F5*.)

*Photo Secretary for F5 is no longer available.

F100: Three underbars (fixed)

•If there are 8,192 shooting data files in the camera ID folder, a new camera ID folder of the same name followed by "_xx" (where xx is a number from 01 to 99) will be created, and new shooting data files stored in that folder.

•The shooting data file names are displayed as "nxxxxx.txt" where xxxxx is a numeral from 00001 to 09999, and indicates the film number. If a file name already exists in the folder it will not be rewritten, but the new file will instead have "_xxxx" appended to it, where xxxx is a numeral from 0001 to 9999.

Memory card formatting (initialization)

•Memory cards should be formatted by a PC using FAT12, FAT16 or FAT32 file systems (The MV-1 cannot format memory cards). The file system will vary with your specific PC and operating system. Refer to the corresponding instruction manuals for details.
