File and Folder Names
Pictures, movies and voice memos are assigned file names as follows.
• A folder for storing files is automatically created using the following naming
convention: “Folder number + NIKON” (e.g., “100NIKON”). If there are 200 files in
a folder, a new folder is created. (For example, the folder name following
“100NIKON” becomes “101NIKON.”) A new folder is also created when the file
numbers in a folder reach 9999 or Reset file numbering (
A202) is performed.
The next file number is set automatically to “0001.”
If a folder contains no files, a new folder is not created even if Reset file
numbering is performed.
• Voice memo file names have the same identifier and file number as the picture
to which the voice memo is attached.
• In Panorama assist (
A58), a folder is created for each shooting session using the
following naming convention: “Folder number + P_XXX” (e.g., “101P_001”).
Pictures are saved in sequence in file numbers starting from 0001.
• Each time a picture is taken in Interval timer shooting (
A77), a folder named
with the convention: 'Folder number + INTVL' (e.g., 101INTVL) is created. Pictures
are saved in sequence in file numbers starting from 0001.
