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”).
When a picture is viewed in the monitor, 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 created automatically by the camera and named with a
three-digit folder number followed by an identifier: “INDEX” for index prints created
using the instant index option (
89), “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for
pictures taken using panorama assist (e.g., “101P_001”;
36), and “NIKON” for all
other photographs (e.g., “100NIKON”).
Folders can hold up to 200 pictures; if you take
a picture when the current folder contains 200 pictures, a new folder will be created by
adding one to the current folder number.
A new folder is created for each sequence
of pictures taken using panorama assist.
If you take a picture 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 internal
memory or memory card is formatted (
98) or a new memory card inserted.
The picture displayed when the
button is pressed is the picture with the highest file
number in the highest-numbered folder.
