Image/Sound File and Folder Names
Pictures, movies, voice memos, and voice recordings are assigned file names
as follows:
• Files are stored in folders named with a folder number followed by a five-
character identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for pictures
taken using panorama assist (e.g., “101P_001”;
42), “INTVL” for inter-
val timer photography (e.g., “101INTVL”;
96), “SOUND” (normal qual-
ity sound) or “SOUNE” (high quality sound) for voice recordings (e.g.,
“101SOUND”;
71), and “NIKON” for all other pictures (e.g.,
“100NIKON”). When the number of files within a folder reaches 9999, a
new folder will be created. File numbers will be assigned automatically
starting with “0001”.
• Files copied using [Copy] > [Selected images] or [Copy sound files] >
[Selected files] 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] and [Copy sound files] > [Copy all files]
copy 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 (
