1. Select File naming from the Shooting Menu.
2. Use the Multi Selector to scroll through the numbers and
letters to find the characters you want to use.
3. Press the Multi selector center button on the D300S or
the center of the Multi Selector on the D300 to select and
insert a character.
4. To correct an error, hold down the Thumbnail/playback
zoom out button and use the Multi Selector to scroll to
the character you want to remove. Use the garbage can
Delete button to delete the bad character.
5. Press the OK button to save your three new custom
characters. They will now appear at the beginning of
each new image file name.
Now you’ve customized your camera so that the image names
it creates reflects your personal needs.
My Recommendation: I discussed how I use these three
custom characters in the beginning of this section. You may
want to use all three of your initials or some other numbers or
letters. Some will even leave these three letters at their default
of DSC. I recommend at least using your initials so that you
can easily identify these images
as yours. With my family of five Nikon shooters it sure makes
it easier for me! If you use my method, just be sure to watch
for the images to roll over 9999 so that you can rename the
first character for the next sequence of 9999 images.
