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.

• In Panorama assist (E2), a folder is created for each shooting session using the following 

naming convention: “Folder number + P_XXX” (e.g. “101P_001”). Images are saved in 
sequence in file numbers 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 (

• If the current folder is numbered 999 and contains 200 images, or an image is numbered 

9999, no further images can be captured until the internal memory or memory card is 
formatted (

E56), or a new memory card is inserted.
