Sort By Date - Nikon COOLPIX 4800 Manual

Sort by Date

To sort pictures into separate folders by date, select
Sort by date in the playback menu. The confi rmation
dialog shown at right will be displayed; press the multi
selector up or down to highlight an option and press
the center to select:
• No: exit without sorting pictures.
• Yes: sort pictures into folders by date. A new folder will be created for each
day that pictures were taken. Folders are named by adding the date (month
and day) to a three-digit sequence number (e.g., "101_0123" for pictures
taken on January 23rd). All pictures taken on that date are moved to this
folder and assigned new fi le numbers starting from 0001; any associated
voice memos are moved to the same folder and renamed accordingly (note
that pictures taken on the same day and month but in different years will be
sorted to the same folder).
Pictures taken after sorting are stored in the folder used before sorting began.
