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”; A 40), “INTVL” for interval timer
photography (e.g. “101INTVL”; A 87), “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 66, 97).
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 (A 110) or a new memory card
inserted.
