Pictures are saved using file names consisting of “DSC_” followed by a four-digit number and a three-letter extension. [
File names take the form “DSC_nnnn.xxx”, where nnnn is a number from 0001 to 9999 and xxx is one of the following extensions, assigned according to the options selected for image quality and file type:
- NEF: NEF (RAW) format, used when RAW is selected for image quality
- JPG: JPEG format, used if an image quality other than RAW is chosen with SDR selected for tone mode
- HIF: HEIF, used if an image quality other than RAW is chosen with HLG selected for tone mode
- MOV: MOV videos
- MP4: MP4 videos
- NDF: Dust off reference data
- Pictures created with [Adobe RGB] selected for [Color space] in the photo shooting menu have file names of the form “_DSCnnnn.xxx”.
- The NEF (RAW) and JPEG photographs in each pair of pictures recorded at image-quality settings of RAW + JPEG/HEIF have the same file names but different extensions (“.NEF” for the NEF (RAW) photo and “.JPG” for the JPEG copy).
- The NEF (RAW) and HEIF photographs in each pair of pictures recorded at image-quality settings of RAW + JPEG/HEIF have the same file names but different extensions (“.NEF” for the NEF (RAW) photo and “.HIF” for the HEIF copy).
