Camera Setup: Using Folders

Using Folders

By default, photographs taken with the

COOLPIX 990 are stored on the

memory card in a folder labeled NIKON.

To make it easier to locate photographs

during playback, you can create additional

folders and organize photographs by theme. The Folders op-

tion can be used to select the folder in which subsequent pho-

tographs will be stored, or to choose the folder from which

photographs are played back. It also contains options for cre-

ating, renaming, and deleting folders.

The camera file system conforms to the Design Rule for Camera File

Systems (DCF). Under this system, folder names consist of a three-digit

folder number followed by the folder name (for example, “100NIKON”).

Each folder can hold a maximum of 999 images (it may hold less, depend-

ing on the size of the memory card and other factors). Should a folder fill

up, another folder will automatically be created with the same name but a

different folder number (e.g., “101NIKON”). For most purposes, the folder

number can be ignored—when viewed from the camera, folders with the

same name but different folder numbers are the same folder. For example,

the folders “100NIKON” and “101NIKON” are shown as a single folder

(“NIKON”) with no folder number. Such folders will however appear as

separate folders when the memory card is viewed on a computer (see the

Nikon View 3 Reference Manual for details). If you have trouble locating a

photo on a computer, you can play it back on the camera, where the full

folder number and name are displayed in the photo information.
