File and Folder Names
Images and movies are assigned file names as follows.
• Files are saved in folders named with a folder number followed by “NIKON” (e.g.
“100NIKON”). A single folder can hold up to 200 images; if the current folder already
contains 200 images, a new folder, named by adding one to the current folder name, is
created the next time an image is captured (e.g. “100NIKON” ➝ “101NIKON”). When the
number of files within a folder reaches 9999, a new folder is created. File numbers are
assigned automatically starting with 0001.
• Files copied using Copy > Selected images 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 copies 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 (E50).
