• Files are saved in folders named with a folder number followed by a five-
character identifier: "P_" plus a three-digit sequence number for images
captured using Panorama assist scene mode (e.g. "101P_001"; A 74) and
"NIKON" for all other images (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 image
to which the voice memo is attached.
• Files copied using Copy>Selected images 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 copies 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 171).
• A single folder can hold up to 200 images; if the current folder already contains
200 images, a new folder, named by adding one to the current folder name, will
be created the next time an image is captured. If the current folder is numbered
999 and contains 200 images, or an image is numbered 9999, no further images
can be captured until the internal memory or memory card is formatted
(A 163), or a new memory card is inserted.
