Technical Notes
Image File and Folder Names
Pictures, movies, and voice memos are assigned file names with three parts:
a four letter identifier, a four-digit file number assigned automatically by the
camera in ascending order, and a three-letter extension (e.g.,
“DSCN0001.JPG”).
* The identifier is not displayed, but is visible when the picture is transferred to a com-
puter.
Pictures are stored in folders named with a three-digit folder number fol-
lowed by a five-character identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number
for pictures taken using panorama assist (e.g., “101P_001”; c 42) 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 pic-
tures, a new folder will be created by adding one to the current folder num-
ber. 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 98) or a new memory card
inserted.
