Image File and Folder Names

Pictures, movies, and voice memos are assigned ﬁ le names with three parts: a four letter iden- tiﬁ er, a four-digit ﬁ le number assigned automatically by the camera in ascending order, and a three-letter extension (e.g., “DSCN0001.JPG”).

Pictures and sound ﬁ les are stored in folders named with a three-digit folder number followed by a ﬁ ve-character identiﬁ er: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for pictures taken us- ing panorama assist (e.g, “101P_001”; 29–30), “INTVL” for interval timer photography (e.g., “101INTVL”; 77), “SOUND” or “SOUNE” for voice recordings (e.g., “101SOUND”; 39), 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 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 ( 89) or a new memory card inserted.

Files copied using Copy > Selected images or COPY SOUND FILES > Selected ﬁles are cop- ied to the current folder, where they are assigned new ﬁ le numbers in ascending order start- ing from the largest ﬁ le number in memory. Copy > All images and COPY SOUND FILES > Copy all ﬁles copy all folders from the source device; ﬁ le names do not change but new folder numbers are assigned in ascending order starting from the largest folder number on the destination device ( 42, 82).

Pictmotion movies ( 53) are stored under the “NKSS” folder in folders named with a three- digit folder number followed by “PRJCT” (e.g., “101PRJCT”). Each folder contains the picture and sound ﬁ les for a single Pictmotion movie.

Pictures taken with Oﬀ selected for Shoot & Transfer > Save Images are stored on the com- puter using ﬁ le names beginning with “STCN” followed by four-digit ﬁ le numbers assigned automatically in ascending order (e.g., “STCN0001.JPG”).
