Names of memory cards connected to a PC
• Depending on your specific PC and operating system, the name assigned to the
connected memory card may vary. Common names are "UNTITLED (E:)" and
"NO_NAME".
Shooting data folders and files on memory card
• The folders and files used to store the shooting data on the memory card (x 10)
have the following structure (example shown is for the F6):
For shooting data storage
Data reader folder Camera model folder Camera ID folder Shooting data files
nikon_dr F6 ID012 n00001.txt
n00002.txt
n00003.txt
For setting/changing recording mode of F5/F100
For details on these folders (x 21).

• The camera model (F6, F5, F100) is automatically detected, and the camera model
folder name automatically set.
• The camera ID folder name identifies the same model type.
The camera ID folder name is "IDxxx" where "xxx" is one of the following:
F6: The ID number of the camera (000~999)
F5: “255” (fixed) (Changed ID number of the camera if the camera ID number
has been changed using the AC-1WE or AC-1ME Photo Secretary for F5*.)
* Photo Secretary for F5 is no longer available.
F100: Three underbars (fixed)
• If there are 8,192 shooting data files in the camera ID folder, a new camera ID
folder of the same name followed by "_xx" (where xx is a number from 01 to 99)
will be created, and new shooting data files stored in that folder.
• The shooting data file names are displayed as "nxxxxx.txt" where xxxxx is a numeral
from 00001 to 09999, and indicates the film number. If a file name already exists in
the folder it will not be rewritten, but the new file will instead have "_xxxx"
appended to it, where xxxx is a numeral from 0001 to 9999.
Memory card formatting (initialization)
• Memory cards should be formatted by a PC using FAT12, FAT16 or FAT32 file
systems (The MV-1 cannot format memory cards). The file system will vary with
your specific PC and operating system. Refer to the corresponding instruction
manuals for details.
