Technical Notes

•Pictures and sound files are stored in folders named with a three-digit folder number followed by a five-character identifier: “P_” plus a three- digit sequence number for pictures taken using panorama assist (e.g., “101P_001”; c 42), “INTVL” for interval timer photography (e.g., “101INTVL”; c 83), “SOUND” for voice recordings (e.g., “101SOUND”; c 59), 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 (c 105) or a new memory card inserted.

•Files copied using [Copy] > [Selected images] are copied to the current folder, where they are assigned new file numbers in ascending order start- ing 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 (c 93).
