Camera Setup: Using Folders83Using FoldersBy default, photographs taken with theCOOLPIX 990 are stored on thememory card in a folder labeled NIKON.To make it easier to locate photographsduring playback, you can create additionalfolders 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 whichphotographs are played back. It also contains options for cre-ating, renaming, and deleting folders.MENU O F F12SFolders OptionsN I K O NMonitor OptionsControlsAuto OffSeq. NumbersCF Card FormatFOLDERSSELECT SETThe camera file system conforms to the Design Rule for Camera FileSystems (DCF). Under this system, folder names consist of a three-digitfolder 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 fillup, another folder will automatically be created with the same name but adifferent folder number (e.g.,“101NIKON”). For most purposes, the foldernumber can be ignored—when viewed from the camera, folders with thesame 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 asseparate folders when the memory card is viewed on a computer (see theNikon View 3 Reference Manual for details). If you have trouble locating aphoto on a computer, you can play it back on the camera, where the fullfolder number and name are displayed in the photo information.Selecting a FolderTo select the folder that will be used for playback or to storesubsequent photographs in A-REC and M-REC:2P 1/601/60 F2.72.7 NORMALNORMALNONOV[ 1010]PressFolder name displayed in LCDmonitor (folder “NIKON” notdisplayed)1MENU O F F12SSELECT SETFolders OptionsN I K O NN O VMonitor OptionsControlsAuto OffSeq.
