Nikon D500 - Manual (Page 39)

39 Menu Guide
Photographs are saved using file names consisting of “DSC_” or,
in the case of images that use the Adobe RGB color space (
0 52),
“_DSC”, followed by a four-digit number and a three-letter
extension (e.g., “DSC_0001.JPG”). The File naming option is
used to select three letters to replace the “DSC” portion of the
file name.

recorded at image-quality settings of NEF (RAW)+JPEG, the NEF and
