[] File Names
Photographs are stored as image files with names of the form "DSC_nnnn.xxx" where nnnn
is a four-digit number between 0001 and 9999 assigned automatically in ascending order by
the camera, and xxx is one of the following three letter extensions: "NEF" for NEF images,
"JPG" for JPEG images, or "AVI" for movies. The NEF and JPEG files recorded at a setting of
"NEF+JPEG" have the same file names but different extensions. Small copies created with
the small picture option in the retouch menu have file names beginning with "SSC_" and
ending with the extension ".JPG" (e.g.,"SSC_0001 .JPG"). Stop motion movies have file names
beginning with "ASC_" (e.g.,"ASC_0001 .AVI"); images recorded with the other options in the
retouch menu have file names beginning with "CSC" (e.g.,"CSC_0001. JPG"). Images
recorded with the Color space option in the shooting menu set to Adobe RGB (_ 150) have
names that begin with an underscore (e.g.,"_DSC0001.JPG").
