Nikon 5900 User Manual - Page 37

Image File and Folder Names In the memory or 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 pictures are transferred to a computer.

The folder name includes a three-digit folder number (e.g., 100NIKON). • 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 largest folder number (e.g., 100NIKON → 101NIKON). • Each time you take pictures in Panorama assist mode, a "P_xxx" folder (e.g., "101P_001") is automatically created, and a series of pictures starting with "DSCN0001" are stored in the folder. • When you take pictures after switching the mode from Panorama assist mode, newly taken pictures are stored in the largest numbered folder except the Panorama assist folder. • 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 file number reaches 200 or picture number reaches 9999 when the memory or the memory card contains a folder numbered 999, no further pictures can be taken, even if there is still memory capacity. Replace the memory card, or transfer all pictures to a computer ( 65) and then format the memory or the memory card ( 130). • When the Button is pressed in Shooting mode except the Panorama assist mode, the picture with the largest number stored in the largest numbered folder except the Panorama assist folder is displayed. • When the Button is pressed in Panorama assist mode, the picture with the largest number stored in the largest numbered folder of the Panorama assist folder is displayed. 27
