Folder Names
On the memory card, folder names are preceded by a three-digit folder number as-
signed automatically by the camera (e.g., 100ND70S) Each folder can contain up to
999 photographs. If a photograph is taken when the current folder contains 999 fi les
or a picture numbered 9999, the camera will create a new folder by adding one to the
current folder number (e.g., 101ND70S). For the purposes of selection and naming,
all folders with the same name are treated as the same folder. For example, if the
folder NIKON is selected, pictures in all folders named NIKON (100NIKON, 101NIKON,
102NIKON, etc.) will be visible when Current is selected in the Playback fl dr menu (
126). Renaming similarly applies to all folders with the same name. During shooting,
pictures are stored in the highest-numbered folder with the selected name.
