Image File and Folder Names
In the memory or on the memory card, pictures are identified by 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”).
When a picture is viewed in the monitor, the file number and extension appear in the
top right corner of the display. The identifier is not displayed, but is visible when pic-
tures are transferred to a computer.
• Pictures are stored in a folder created automatically by the camera. The folder name includes a
three-digit folder number (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 largest folder number (e.g.,
100NIKON → 101NIKON).
• Each time you take pictures in Panorama assist mode, a “P_xxx” folder (e.g., “101P_001”) is au-
tomatically created, and a series of pictures starting with “DSCN0001” are stored in the folder.
• When you take pictures after switching the mode from Panorama assist mode, newly taken pic-
tures are stored in the largest numbered folder except the Panorama assist folder.
• If you take a picture when the current folder contains a picture numbered 9999, a new folder
will be created and file numbering will begin again from 0001.
• If file number reaches 200 or picture number reaches 9999 when the memory or the memory
card contains a folder numbered 999, no further pictures can be taken, even if there is still mem-
ory capacity. Replace the memory card, or transfer all pictures to a computer ( 65) and then
format the memory or the memory card ( 130).
• When the Button is pressed in Shooting mode except the Panorama assist mode, the picture
with the largest number stored in the largest numbered folder except the Panorama assist folder
is displayed.
• When the Button is pressed in Panorama assist mode, the picture with the largest number
stored in the largest numbered folder of the Panorama assist folder is displayed.
