Technical Notes
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 th ree-digit sequence number for pictures
taken using panorama assist (e.g., “101P_001”;  c40), “INTVL” for inter-
val timer photography (e.g., “101INTVL”;  c89), “SOUND” for voice
recordings (e.g., “101SOUND”;  c65), 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 automat-
ically starting with “0001”.
• Files copied using [Copy] > [Selec ted 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 ( c69, 99).
• Folders can hold up to 200 pictures; if  a picture is taken when the current
folder contains 200 pictures, a new folder will be created by adding one to
the current folder number. If a picture is taken when the current folder is
numbered 999 and contains 200 pictur es or a picture numbered 9999, no
further pictures can be taken until the medium is formatted ( c110) or a
new memory card inserted. DSCN0001.JPG

Technical Notes
Caring for the Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following
precautions when using or storing the device.
jKeep dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
jDo not drop
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.
jHandle the lens and all moving parts with care
Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, mo nitor, memory card slot, or battery chamber.
These parts are easily damaged. Applying force to  the lens cover could result in camera mal-
function or damage to the lens. Should the m onitor break, care should be taken to avoid
injury caused by broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the
skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
jDo not point the lens at strong  light sources for extended periods
Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other  strong light sources for extended periods when
using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause deterioration of the CCD image sensor,
producing a white blur effect in photographs.
jKeep away from strong magnetic fields
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromag-
netic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static  charges or the magnetic fields produced by
equipment such as radio transmitters could interf ere with the monitor, damage data stored
on the memory card, or affect the product’s internal circuitry.
jAvoid sudden changes in temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as occur wh en entering or leaving a heated building on
a cold day, can cause condensation to form insi de the device. To prevent condensation, place
the device in a carrying case or a plastic ba g before exposing it to sudden changes in temper-
ature.
jTurn the product off before removing or disconnecting the power 
source
Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being recorded or
deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumsta nces could result in loss of data or in dam-
age to product memory or internal circuitry.
