Image/Sound File And Folder Names - Nikon CoolPix S52 User Manual

Image/Sound File and Folder Names

Pictures, movies, voice memos, and voice recordings are assigned file names as
follows.

Original still pictures (voice
memo attachment included),
movies, voice memos, voice

Cropped copies (voice memo

Small copies (voice memo

• Files are stored in folders named with a folder number followed by a five-
character identifier: "SOUND" (normal quality sound) or "SOUNE" (high quality
sound) for voice recordings (e.g., "101SOUND"; A 64), and "NIKON" for all other
pictures (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 picture
to which the voice memo is attached.
• Files copied using Copy>Selected images or Copy sound files>Selected
files 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 and Copy sound files>Copy all files copy 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 (A 68, 96).
• Pictmotion movies (A 54) are stored under the "NKST" folder in folders named
with a three-digit folder number followed by "PRJCT" (e.g., "101PRJCT"). Each
folder contains the picture and sound files for a single Pictmotion movie.
• A single folder can hold up to 200 pictures; if the current folder already contains
200 pictures, a new folder, named by adding one to the current folder name,
will be created the next time a picture is taken. If the current folder is numbered
999 and contains 200 pictures, or a picture is numbered 9999, no further
pictures can be taken until the internal memory or memory card is formatted
(A 107), or a new memory card is inserted.
