Playback Tips
Pictures are displayed briefl y at low resolution while being read from the memory card.
This makes it possible to scroll rapidly through the pictures in memory without waiting
for each image to be displayed at full resolution.
The fi rst and last pictures in memory are linked. Pressing the multi selector up or left
when the fi rst picture in memory is displayed will take you to the last picture. Pressing
the multi selector down or right when the last picture is displayed takes you to the
fi rst picture.
Image File and Folder Names
On the memory card, pictures are identifi ed by fi le names with three parts: a four letter
identifi er, a four-digit fi le number assigned automatically by the camera in ascending
order, and a three-letter extension (e.g., “DSCN0001.JPG”).

When a picture is viewed in the monitor, the fi le number and extension appear in the
top right corner of the display. The identifi er is not displayed, but is visible when the
picture is transferred to a computer.
Pictures are stored in folders created automatically by the camera and named with a
three-digit folder number followed by “NIKON” (e.g., “100NIKON”). Folders can hold
up to 200 pictures; if you take a picture when the current folder contains 200 pictures,
a new folder will be created by adding one to the current folder number. If you take
a picture when the current folder contains a picture numbered 9999, a new folder will
be created and fi le numbering will begin again from 0001. If fi le numbering reaches
9999 when the memory card contains a folder numbered 999, no further pictures can
be taken until the memory card has been formatted (
67) or a new memory card
inserted.
