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 taken using panorama assist (e.g., “101P_001”; c 38),
“SOUND” for voice recordings (e.g., “101SOUND”; c 52), and
“NIKON” for all other pictures (e.g., “100NIKON”). When the num-
ber of files within a folder reaches 9999, a new folder will be cre-
ated. 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 larg-
est 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 des-
tination medium (c 56, 86).
• 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 98) or a new memory card inserted.
