• 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 scene mode (e.g. "101P_001"; E3) and "NIKON" for all
other images (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."
• Voice memo file names have the same identifier and file number as the image
to which the voice memo is attached.
• 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 (E60).
• A single folder can hold up to 200 files; if the current folder already contains 200
files, a new folder, named by adding one to the current folder name, will be
created the next time a file is stored. If the current folder is numbered 999 and
contains 200 files, or a file is numbered 9999, no further files can be stored until
the internal memory or memory card is formatted (E76), or a new memory
card is inserted.
