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"). Type Identifier Extension Still picture DSCN .JPG 21 Original Movie DSCN .MOV 46 Time-lapse movie INTN .MOV 47 Cropped copy RSCN .JPG 54 Copy Retouched copy FSCN .JPG 89 Small copy SSCN .JPG 90 Audio file Voice memo (appended to original still) Voice memo (appended to copy) Voice recording (independent recording) DSCN SND_ DSCN .WAV 55 .WAV 55 .WAV 39 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: "INTVL" for pictures taken using interval timer photography ( 75), "P_" plus a three-digit sequence number for pictures taken using panorama assist (e.g, "101P_001"; 30), 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 interval-timer photography or 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 memory card is formatted ( 99) 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. 23
