The card will now function as a disk. Photographs may be found within the
folder DCIM in the card’s root directory, stored in the folder named
nnnNC_D1, where “nnn” is the number shown at the top right corner of the
photograph when it is played back on the camera. Photos recorded at an
image quality setting of FINE, NORMAL, or BASIC can be viewed in any
application that supports the JPEG format. To read photographs recorded
at a setting of HI RGB-TIFF, you will need an application that can read TIFF
files. RAW and YCbCr TIFF files can only be viewed using

Nikon View DX

or

Nikon Capture (available separately).

Connections: Reading Photographs from Memory Cards

You can use

Nikon View DX

to browse photographs on a memory card in the same

fashion as when the camera is connected to your computer directly. See the

Nikon

View DX

reference manual for details.

The D1 can read and play back only those images that conform to the Design Rule for
Camera File Systems (DCF). It may not be able to read JPEG or TIFF files created
by a computer or by another make of camera. It may also not be able to read camera
files that have been renamed or moved to a different folder using a computer.
