Basic Photography Image File and Folder Names 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").

The identifier is not displayed, but is visible when the picture is transferred to a computer. Pictures are stored in folders named with a three-digit folder number followed by a five-character identifier (e.g, "100NIKON"). The default identifier is NIKON; if desired, folders with other identifiers can be created and pictures organized by theme ( 108). Each sequence of pictures taken using interval-timer photography, Ultra HS, or panorama assist is stored in a separate folder with its own identifier: "INTVL" for interval timer photography ( 83), "N_" plus a three-digit sequence number for Ultra HS (e.g, "101N_001"; 80), or "P_" plus a three-digit sequence number for panorama assist (e.g, "101P_001"; 29). 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 contains a picture numbered 9999, a new folder will be created and file numbering will begin again from 0001. If the current folder is numbered 999 and contains 200 pictures or a picture numbered 9999, no further pictures can be taken until the memory card is formatted ( 104) or a new memory card inserted. The first picture displayed when pictures are played back is the picture with the highest file number in the highest-numbered folder. 22

Image File and Folder Names
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 on the camera, the file number and extension appear in the
top right corner of the display.
The identifier is not displayed, but is visible when the
picture is transferred to a computer.
Pictures are stored in folders named with a three-digit folder number followed by a
five-character identifier (e.g, “100NIKON”).
The default identifier is NIKON; if desired,
folders with other identifiers can be created and pictures organized by theme (
108).
Each sequence of pictures taken using interval-timer photography,
Ultra HS
, or pan-
orama assist is stored in a separate folder with its own identifier: “INTVL” for interval
timer photography (
83), “N_” plus a three-digit sequence number for
Ultra HS
(e.g,
“101N_001”;
80), or “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for panorama assist
(e.g, “101P_001”;
29).
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 contains
a picture numbered 9999, a new folder will be created and file numbering will begin
again from 0001.
If the current folder is numbered 999 and contains 200 pictures or
a picture numbered 9999, no further pictures can be taken until the memory card is
formatted (
104) or a new memory card inserted.
The first picture displayed when pictures are played back is the picture with the highest
file number in the highest-numbered folder.
