Image File and Folder Names

In the memory or on the memory card, pictures are identified by 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")

When a picture is viewed in the monitor, the file number and extension appear in the top right corner
of the display. The identifier is not displayed, but is visible when the picture is transferred to a computer.
Pictures are stored in folders created automatically by the camera and named with a three-digit fold-
er number followed by "NIKON" (e.g., "100NIKON"). Folders can hold up to 200 pictures; if you
take a picture when the current folder contains 200 pictures, a new folder will be created by adding
one to the current folder number. If you take a picture when the current folder contains a picture
numbered 9999, a new folder will be created and file numbering will begin again from 0001. If the
number of files reaches 200 or file numbering reaches 9999 when the memory or memory card
contains a folder numbered 999, no further pictures can be taken until the memory or memory card
has been formatted (Q 93) or a new memory card inserted.
