Technical Notes
Image File and Folder Names
Pictures, movies, and voice memos are assigned 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”).
Pictures and sound files are stored in folders named with a three-digit folder number fol-
lowed by a five-character identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for pictures
taken using panorama assist (e.g., “101P_001”;
B
35), “INTVL” for interval timer photogra-
phy (e.g., “101INTVL”;
B
74), “SOUND” for voice recordings (e.g., “101SOUND”;
B
51), and
“NIKON” for all other pictures (e.g., “101NIKON”).
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 is
numbered 999 and contains 200 pictures or a picture numbered 9999, no further pictures
can be taken until the medium is formatted (
B
88) or a new memory card is inserted.
