Image File and Folder Names
Pictures and movies 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 42) 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 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 102).
• 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 95) or a new memory card inserted.
