Technical Notes
File and Folder Names
Images and movies are assigned file names as follows.
• Files are saved in folders named with a folder number followed by a five-
character identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for images
captured using panorama assist (e.g. “101P_001”; A 41) and “NIKON” for all
other images (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 68).
• Folders can hold up to 200 images; if an image is captured when the current
folder contains 200 images, a new folder will be created by adding one to the
current folder number. If an image is captured when the current folder is
numbered 999 and contains 200 images or an image numbered 9999, no
further images can be captured until the medium is formatted (A 105) or a
new memory card inserted.
