Folder Names
On the memory card, folder names are preceded by a three-digit folder
number assigned automatically by the camera (e.g., 100D3300). Each
folder can contain up to 999 photographs. During shooting, pictures
are stored in the highest-numbered folder with the selected name. If a
photograph is taken when the current folder is full or contains a
photograph numbered 9999, the camera will create a new folder by
adding 1 to the current folder number (e.g., 101D3300). The camera
treats folders with the same name but different folder numbers as the
same folder. For example, if the folder NIKON is selected for Storage
folder, photographs in all folders named NIKON (100NIKON,
101NIKON, 102NIKON, etc.) will be visible when Current is selected for
Playback folder (
0 220). Renaming changes all folders with the same
name but leaves the folder numbers intact. Selecting Delete deletes
empty numbered folders but leaves other folders with the same name
intact.
