Image/Sound File and Folder Names
Pictures, movies or voice memos 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 sequential number for pictures taken
in Panorama assist scene mode (e.g. “101P_001”; A 60) 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.”
• Voice memo file names have the same identifier and file number as the picture
to which the voice memo is attached.
• Files copied using Copy>Selected images 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 copies 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 97).
• 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 taken. If the current folder is numbered
999 and contains 200 pictures, or a picture is numbered 9999, no further
pictures can be taken until the internal memory or memory card is formatted
(A 138), or a new memory card is inserted.
