Technical Notes
Image/Sound 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 in the monitor, but is visible when the picture is trans-
ferred to a computer.
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 40), “SOUND” for voice recordings (e.g., “101SOUND”:
c 54) 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 101) or a new memory card
inserted.
