Nikon 880 - Manual (Page 148)

The camera file system conforms to the Design Rule for Camera File Systems (DCF). Under this
system, folder names consist of a three-digit folder number followed by the folder name (e.g.,
“100NIKON”). Each folder can hold a maximum of 200 images (it may hold less, depending on the size
of the memory card and other factors). Should a folder fill up, another folder will automatically be
created with the same name but a different folder number (e.g., “101NIKON”). For most purposes, the
folder number can be ignored—when viewed from the camera, folders with the same name but differ-
ent folder numbers are the same folder. For example, the camera shows the folders “100NIKON” and
“101NIKON” as the single folder “NIKON” with no folder number. When the memory card is viewed
on a computer, however, folders with the same name but different folder numbers will be treated as
separate folders (see the Nikon View Reference Manual for details). If you have trouble locating a photo
on a computer, you can play it back on the camera, where the folder number and name are shown in
the photo-information display.
