File Names
Photographs are stored as image fi les with names of the form “DSC_nnnn.xxx,” where nnnn
is a four-digit number between 0001 and 9999 as signed automatically in ascending order
by the camera, and xxx is one of the following three letter extensions: “NEF” for NEF images,
“JPG” for JPEG im ag es, and “NDF” for Dust Off ref photos ( 121–122). The NEF and JPEG
fi les recorded at a setting of “NEF+JPEG” have the same fi le names but diff erent exten-
sions. Images recorded at a Color Space setting of AdobeRGB ( 50) have names that
begin with an underscore (e.g., “_DSC0001.JPG”). The “DSC” portion of the fi le name can be
changed using the File Naming option in the shooting menu ( 129).
