File Naming; File Naming - Nikon D500 Menu Manual

File Naming

Photographs are saved using file names consisting of "DSC_" or,
in the case of images that use the Adobe RGB color space (0 52),
"_DSC", followed by a four-digit number and a three-letter
extension (e.g., "DSC_0001.JPG"). The File naming option is
used to select three letters to replace the "DSC" portion of the
file name.

Text Entry
The dialog at right is displayed when text
entry is required. Tap the letters on the
touch-screen keyboard. You can also use the
multi selector to highlight the desired
character in the keyboard area and press the
center of the multi selector to insert the
highlighted character at the current cursor
position (note that if a character is entered
when the field is full, the last character in the
field will be deleted). To delete the character
under the cursor, press the O (Q) button. To
move the cursor to a new position, tap the display or hold the W (M)
button and press 4 or 2. To complete entry and return to the
previous menu, press J. To exit without completing text entry, press

Extensions
The following extensions are used: ".NEF" for NEF (RAW) images, ".TIF"
for TIFF (RGB) images, ".JPG" for JPEG images, ".MOV" for movies, and
".NDF" for dust off reference data. In each pair of photographs
recorded at image-quality settings of NEF (RAW)+JPEG, the NEF and
JPEG images have the same file names but different extensions.
