Felder Names
On the memory card, folder names are preceded by a three-digit folder number assigned automati-
cally by the camera (e.g., IOONCD40). Each folder can contain up to gg9 photographs. During shoot-
ing, pictures are stored in the highest-numbered folder with the selected name. If a photograph is
taken when the current folder if full or contains a photograph numbered 9ggg, the camera will create
a new folder by adding one to the current folder number (e.g., 101NCD40). The camera treats folders
with the same name but different folder numbers as the same folder. For example, if the folder NIKON
is selected for Select folder, photographs in all folders named NIKON (IOONIKON, 101NIKON,
102NIKON, etc.) will be visible when Current is selected for Playback folder (_ 66). Renaming
changes all folders with the same name but leaves the folder numbers intact.
