Image File And Folder Names - Nikon CoolPix L100 User Manual

Image File and Folder Names

Pictures and movies are assigned file names as follows.
Identifier (not shown on camera monitor)
Original still pictures, movies
Cropped copies
Small copies
D-Lighting copies
• Files are stored in folders named with a 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"; A 46) and "NIKON" for all other
pictures (e.g. "100NIKON"). When the number of files within a folder reaches
9999, a new folder will be created. File numbers will be assigned automatically
starting with "0001".
• Files copied using Copy > Selected images are copied to the current folder,
where they are assigned new file numbers in ascending order starting 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 (A 113).
• 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 (A 106) or a new memory card
inserted.
