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”; A 40), “SOUND” for voice recordings
(e.g. “101SOUND”; A 58), 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 61, 95).
• 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 107), or a new memory card is inserted.
