Organizing Your Pictures: The Folders Menu

By default, pictures are stored on the CF memory
card in a folder labeled NIKON. To make it easier
to locate pictures during playback, you can create
additional folders and organize pictures by theme.
The “Folders” sub-menu is used to create,
rename and delete folders and to select the folder
in which subsequent pictures will be stored or from which pictures are
played back.

The camera file system conforms to the Design Rule for Camera File System
(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 CF
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 different 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 CF 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.
