Using an AC Adapter
When the camera is powered by the AC adapter (available separately), the
camera will remain on for thirty minutes if no operations are performed,
regardless of the setting in the Auto Off menu.
Sleep Mode
In sleep mode, all camera functions are deactivated and the camera itself is
effectively off, consuming almost no power. The camera can be reactivated by
pressing the Multi selector or any other buttons on the camera back (except
TRANSFER button), by rotating the mode dial, or by pressing the shutter release
button halfway.
File Numbering: Seq. Number
The camera assigns each picture a file name
consisting of “DSCN” followed by a four-digit
number assigned automatically by the camera
(e.g., “DSCN0001.JPG”). This option controls how
files are numbered.
Option Description
When this option is selected, the camera assigns all subsequent file
numbers sequentially in ascending order, starting from the last number
used. If the memory card is formatted or a new card inserted in the
camera, file numbering will continue from the last number used.
Off
The camera does not store the last file number used. When another
memory card is inserted or a new file is created, numbering starts from
the lowest number available.
Reset
Clears the current file number from memory. Sequential file numbering
begins again from the lowest number available on the current memory
card.

File Numbering
File numbering starts over from 0001 if a picture is taken when the current
folder contains a file numbered 9999. The camera will create a new folder by
adding one to the current folder number (for example, if the current folder is
“100NIKON,” the new folder will be named “101NIKON”). Each folder can hold
up to 200 pictures. If file numbering reaches 9999 when the card contains a
folder numbered 999, no more pictures can be stored on the card, even if
sufficient memory remains. Insert a new memory card or format the current
card.
Resetting File Numbering to 0001
To reset file numbering to 0001, insert an empty memory card or format the
current memory card before selecting Reset. Note that formatting the memory
card deletes all data it may contain, including hidden and protected images.
