File and Folder Names

Pictures, movies and voice memos are assigned file names as follows.

A folder for storing files is automatically created using the following naming

convention: “Folder number + NIKON” (e.g., “100NIKON”). If there are 200 files in
a folder, a new folder is created. (For example, the folder name following
“100NIKON” becomes “101NIKON.”) A new folder is also created when the file
numbers in a folder reach 9999 or Reset file numbering (

A202) is performed.

The next file number is set automatically to “0001.”
If a folder contains no files, a new folder is not created even if Reset file
numbering
is performed.

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

to which the voice memo is attached.

In Panorama assist (

A58), a folder is created for each shooting session using the

following naming convention: “Folder number + P_XXX” (e.g., “101P_001”).
Pictures are saved in sequence in file numbers starting from 0001.

Each time a picture is taken in Interval timer shooting (

A77), a folder named

with the convention: 'Folder number + INTVL' (e.g., 101INTVL) is created. Pictures
are saved in sequence in file numbers starting from 0001.
