Here are the three selections you can choose from (see
Figure 2-4):
▪ D300S (D300S) or ND300 (D300)
▪ All
▪ Current
D300S or ND300 –
The D300S and D300 use slightly different names for the
default playback folder. The D300S uses a folder called
D300S, while the D300 uses a folder called ND300.
Figure 2-4 shows D300S screens only. If you leave your
camera set to this default mode, the image playback will show
you images in all the folders that have been created by the
D300(S) only. If there are folders from other cameras on the
memory card, those images will not appear during playback.
You may not even realize they are on the memory card. Note:
When viewed on your computer, the memory card’s full
default folder name will be 100D300S or 100ND300. You
can change the default folder number to a new one with the
Shooting Menu > Active folder setting. We’ll discuss this
more in the chapter called Chapter 3.
All – This maximum flexibility setting has saved my buns
several times—when I thought to check my camera for
images before I formatted the card and found that I had other
images on the card besides D300(S) images. During playback,
the camera will display images from other folders you’ve
created or other Nikons you’ve used with the current memory
card. Each camera creates its own unique folders. The
D300(S) intelligently displays its own images, as well as any
other Nikon images on the card.
