Photographs are saved using file names consisting of “DSC_” or, in
the case of images that use the Adobe RGB color space (

0 45),

“_DSC”, followed by a four-digit number and a three-letter
extension (e.g., “DSC_0001.JPG”). The File naming option is used
to select three letters to replace the “DSC” portion of the file name.
