Create, rename, or delete folders, or choose the folder in which subsequent 
photographs will be stored.
• Select folder: Choose the folder in which subsequent photographs will be stored.
• New: Create a new folder and name it as described on page 91.
Folder names can 
be up to five characters long.
• Rename: Select a folder from the list and rename it as described on page 91.
• Delete: Delete all empty folders on the memory card.
Select On to reduce barrel distortion in photos taken with wide-
angle lenses and to reduce pin-cushion distortion in photos 
taken with long lenses (note that the edges of the area visible in 
the viewfinder may be cropped out of the final photograph, and 
that the time needed to process photographs before recording 
begins may increase).
This option does not apply to movies and 
is available only with type G and D lenses (PC, fisheye, and certain other lenses 
excluded); results are not guaranteed with other lenses.

D Folder Names 
On the memory card, folder names are preceded by a three-digit folder number assigned 
automatically by the camera (e.g., 100D5200).
Each folder can contain up to 999 
photographs.
During shooting, pictures are stored in the highest-numbered folder with the 
selected name.
If a photograph is taken when the current folder is full or contains a 
photograph numbered 9999, the camera will create a new folder by adding 1 to the current 
folder number (e.g., 101D5200).
The camera treats folders with the same name but different 
folder numbers as the same folder.
For example, if the folder NIKON is selected for Storage 
folder, photographs in all folders named NIKON (100NIKON, 101NIKON, 102NIKON, etc.) will 
be visible when Current is selected for Playback folder (0 148).
Renaming changes all 
folders with the same name but leaves the folder numbers intact.
Selecting Delete deletes 
empty numbered folders but leaves other folders with the same name intact.
