A File Names Photographs are stored as image files with names of the form "DSC_nnnn.xxx," where nnnn is a four-digit number between 0001 and 9999 assigned automatically in ascending order by the camera, and xxx is one of the following three-letter extensions: "NEF" for NEF images, "JPG" for JPEG images, or "MOV" for movies.

File Names
Photographs are stored as image files with names of the form “DSC_
nnnn
.
xxx
,” where
nnnn
is a four-digit number between 0001 and 9999 assigned automatically in ascending order by
the camera, and
xxx
is one of the following three-letter extensions: “NEF” for NEF images,
“JPG” for JPEG images, or “MOV” for movies.
The NEF and JPEG files recorded at a setting of
NEF (RAW)+JPEG have the same file names but different extensions.
Copies created with
image overlay (
0
184) and movie edit options (
0
107) have file names beginning with
“DSC_” ; copies created with the other options in the retouch menu have file names
beginning with “CSC” (e.g., “CSC_0001.JPG”).
Images recorded with the
Color space
option
in the shooting menu set to
Adobe RGB
(
0
152) have names that begin with an underscore
(e.g., “_DSC0001.JPG”).
