Image/Sound File and Folder Names

Pictures, movies, or voice memos 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 scene mode (e.g. “101P_001”; A 72) 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.”

Voice memo file names have the same identifier and file number as the picture

to which the voice memo is attached.

Files copied using Copy>Selected images 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 copies 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 167).

A single folder can hold up to 200 files; if the current folder already contains 200

files, a new folder, named by adding one to the current folder name, will be
created the next time a file is stored. If the current folder is numbered 999 and
contains 200 files, or a file is numbered 9999, no further files can be stored until
the internal memory or memory card is formatted (

A 159), or a new memory

card is inserted.
