In this example, the folder name is
100ND300
and the
filename is
_3000189.JPG
63
. (The initial _ in the filename
indicates that the Color Space is set to AdobeRGB.)
Note: When I shoot with both a Fuji S3 Pro and a Nikon D300, I
can immediately tell which images came from which
camera: the Fuji uses an
F
instead of
_
in their filenames
(e.g.
DSCF0001.JPG
). If you use more than one digital
camera, do yourself a favor and note the different folder
and file naming conventions of the two cameras. Some day
you’ll be glad you did.
The D300 allows you to rename the “DSC” portion of the
filename with three letters of your own choosing. This is
useful mostly to identify multiple cameras in an organization;
three letters aren’t enough flexibility to use filename changes
to keep track of assignments.

To rename the DSC portion of the filename:
1.
Press the
MENU
button to activate the menu system.
2.
Use the Direction pad keys to navigate to the
SHOOTING menu (green camera tab).

The filename has been modified from the default, as I was shooting with multiple
bodies and used filename modification to track individual bodies. More about
renaming files coming up later in this section.
