Folder Names
On the memory
card, folder
names are preceded
by a three-digit
folder number assigned
automatically
by the camera (e.g., 100D5000).
Each folder
can contain
up to 999
photographs.
During
shooting,
pictures are stored in the highest-numbered
folder with the
selected
name.
Ifa photograph
is taken when the current folder
is full or contains a
photograph
numbered
9999, the camera will create a new folder by adding
one to the
current folder
number (e.g., 101D5000).
The camera treats folders with the same name but
different
folder numbers
as the same folder.
For example,
if the folder
NIKON is selected for
Active
folder,
photographs
in all folders named NIKON (IOONIKON, 101NIKON, 102NIKON,
etc.) will be visible when Current is selected for Playback
folder
(_ 146). Renaming
changes all folders with the same name but leaves the folder numbers
intact.
