File Naming
G button U
C photo shooting menu
Pictures are saved using file names consisting of “DSC_” followed by a four-digit number and a
three-letter extension. [File naming] is used to select three letters to replace the “DSC” portion of the
file name. For information on text entry, see “Text Entry” (
0 71).
D File Names
File names take the form “DSC_nnnn.xxx”
, where nnnn is a number from 0001 to 9999 and xxx is one
of the following extensions, assigned according to the options selected for image quality and file
type:
NEF: NEF (RAW) photos
JPG: JPEG (fine, normal, or basic) photos
MOV: MOV videos
NEV: NEV videos
MP4: MP4 videos
NDF: Dust off reference data
Pictures created with [Adobe RGB] selected for [Color space] in the photo shooting menu have file
names of the form “_DSCnnnn.xxx”.
In each pair of photographs recorded at image-quality settings of RAW + JPEG, the NEF (RAW) and
JPEG pictures have the same file names but different extensions.
Proxy videos have the same file names as the RAW footage with which they are recorded, but while
the RAW footage is assigned the extension “.NEV” or “.MOV’, the proxy files have the extension
“.MP4”.
