Image/Sound File and Folder Names
Pictures, movies, voice memos and voice recordings are assigned file names as
follows.
• Files are stored in folders named with a folder number followed by a five-
character identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for pictures taken
using panorama assist (e.g. “101P_001”;
A 41), “INTVL” for interval timer
photography (e.g. “101INTVL”;
A 92), “SOUND” for voice recordings (e.g.
“101SOUND”; A 67), and “NIKON” for all other pictures (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.”
• Files copied using Copy > Selected images or Copy sound files > Selected
files 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 and Copy sound files > Copy all files copy 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 71, 104).
• Folders can hold up to 200 pictures; if a picture is taken when the current folder
contains 200 pictures, a new folder will be created by adding one to the current
folder number. If a picture is taken when the current folder is numbered 999
and contains 200 pictures or a picture numbered 9999, no further pictures can
be taken until the medium is formatted (
A 117) or a new memory card
inserted.
