Technical Notes
Image/Sound File and Folder Names
Pictures, movies, voice memos and voice recordings are assigned file names as
follows.
• Files are stored in folders named with a folder number followed by a five-
character identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for pictures shot
using panorama assist (e.g. “101P_001”; A 38), “INTVL” for interval timer
photography (e.g. “101INTVL”; A 92), “SOUND” for voice recordings (e.g.
“101SOUND”; A 62), and “NIKON” for all other pictures (e.g. “100NIKON”). When
the number of files within a folder reaches 9999, a new folder will be created.
File numbers will be assigned automatically starting with “0001.”
• Files copied using [Copy] > [Selected images] or [Copy sound files] > [Selected
files] are copied to the current folder, where they are assigned new file numbers
in ascending order starting from the largest file number in memory. [Copy] >
[All images] and [Copy sound files] > [Copy all files] copy all folders from the
source medium; file names do not change but new folder numbers are
assigned in ascending order, starting from the largest folder number on the
destination medium (A 65, 102).
• A single folder can hold up to 200 pictures; if the current folder already contains
200 pictures, a new folder, named by adding one to the current folder name,
will be created the next time a picture is shot. If the current folder is numbered
999 and contains 200 pictures, or a picture is numbered 9999, no further
pictures can be shot until the internal memory or memory card is formatted
(A 113), or a new memory card is inserted.
