Noise Reduction

Noise in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels tends to appear in pictures taken at slow shutter speeds. This effect is particularly noticeable in dark areas of the picture. At a setting of Night Portrait and Night Landscape, pictures taken at shutter speeds of 1/4 sec. or slower are processed to reduce noise (note that this increases the time needed to process pictures before they are saved to the memory card). NR is displayed when noise reduction is in effect. 38

File Numbering

File numbering starts over from 0001 if a picture is taken when the current folder contains a file numbered 9999. The camera will create a new folder by adding one to the current folder number (for example, if the current folder is 100NIKON, the new folder will be named 101NIKON). Each folder can hold up to 200 pictures. If file numbering reaches 9999 when the card contains a folder numbered 999, no more pictures can be stored on the card, even if sufficient memory remains. Insert a new memory card or format the current card.
Resetting File Numbering to 0001
To reset file numbering to 0001, insert an empty memory card or format the current memory card before selecting Reset. Note that formatting the memory card deletes all data it may contain, including hidden and protected images.
