Image File and Folder Names

Pictures, movies, time-lapse movies, voice recordings, 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 followed by a five-character identifier: "P_" plus a three-
digit sequence number for pictures taken using panorama assist (e.g.,
"101P_001"; c 42), "INTVL" for interval timer photography (e.g.,
"101INTVL"; c 83), "SOUND" for voice recordings (e.g., "101SOUND";
c 59), and "NIKON" for all other pictures (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 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 (c 105) or a
new memory card inserted.
• Files copied using [Copy] > [Selected images] are copied to the current
folder, where they are assigned new file numbers in ascending order start-
ing from the largest file number in memory. [Copy] > [All images] copies
all folders from the source medium; file names do not change but new
folder numbers are assigned in ascending order starting from the largest
folder number on the destination medium (c 93).
