Seq. Numbers
Pictures are assigned fi le names that include a
four-digit fi le number assigned automatically by
the camera (e.g., “DSCN0001.JPG”) and stored
in folders with names that contain a three digit
folder number (e.g., “100NIKON”). Each folder
holds up to 200 pictures. This option controls
how fi le numbers are assigned.

SEQ. NUMBERS
Option Description
Off
As above, except that fi le numbering is reset to 0001 when new folder is cre-
ated, memory card is formatted, or new memory card is inserted in camera.
On
When new picture is taken, fi le number is generated by adding one to last
le number used. If picture is taken when current folder is full, new folder
will be created by adding one to current folder number and fi le numbering
will continue from last number used. File numbering will also continue from
last number used if memory card is formatted or new memory card inserted
in camera. If picture is taken when current folder contains picture numbered
9999, new folder will be created by adding one to current folder number and
fi le numbering will begin again from 0001.
Reset
Clears last fi le number from memory. If memory card is formatted or empty
memory card inserted before Reset is selected, fi le numbering will begin
from 0001. If memory card already contains pictures, next fi le number will
be generated by adding one to highest fi le number in current folder.
File Numbering
If fi le numbering reaches 9999 when the current folder contains a picture numbered
999, no more pictures can be taken until the memory card is formatted or a new card
inserted, even if enough memory is available on the card to store more pictures.
Image File Names
Pictures are identifi ed by fi le names with three parts: a four letter identifi er, a four-digit
le number, and a three-letter extension (e.g., “DSCN0001.JPG”). Identifi ers are as-
signed according to how the picture was created, extensions according to fi le type:
