Image File and Folder Names
Pictures, movies, and voice memos are assigned file names as follows:
• Files are stored in folders named with a folder number followed by a five-
character identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for pictures
taken using panorama assist (e.g., “101P_001”;
c
45), “INTVL” for inter-
val timer photography (e.g., “101INTVL”;
c
101), “SOUND” or “SOUNE”
for voice recordings (e.g., “101SOUND”;
c
75), and “NIKON” for all
other pictures (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] or [Copy sound files] >
[Selected files] 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] and [Copy sound files] > [Selected files]
copy 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 (
c
111).
