File Numbering - Nikon D1X User Manual

Custom Setting 29: File Number Sequence
When saving photographs, the camer a assigns each image a
file name consisting of "DSC_" followed by a four-digit number
from 0001 to 9999. Images are stored in folders with a name
consisting of a three-digit folder number between 100 and
999, followed by "NCD1X" (for example, "100NCD1X"). Cus-
tom Setting 29 controls how the camera assigns folder and file
numbers. File numbering can also be controlled using the File No. Seq. option in
the shooting menu.

File Numbering

If continuous file numbering is not selected, file numbering will begin from 0001 whenever the
user creates a new folder from the playback Folder Designate menu. File numbering will
also begin from 0001 whenever the camera creates a new folder automatically, whether or not
continuous file numbering is selected. New folders are created automatically when:
• The number of images in the current folder reaches 999
• The current folder contains a file numbered 9999
No.
The camera does not store the last file name or
folder n umber used. When a new file or folder is
created, numbering starts from the lowest number
available.
When this option is selected, the camera assigns all
subsequent folder and file numbers sequentially in
ascending order, starting from the last numbers used.
If the memor y card is formatted or a new card in-
ser ted in the camera, folder and file numbering will
continue from the last numbers used. This makes it
easier to k eep track of images and helps prevent
files from being accidentally overwritten when fold-
ers are copied to a computer.
Sequential numbering begins again from the lowest
number available in the current folder.
