Renaming image files
You can rename an image file simply by clicking in the file name display area and typing in a
new file name.
■Automatic renaming
When you select the image to be renamed and select “Automatic Rename (A)” from the
“File (F)” menu, the “Automatic Rename” dialog box opens and you can specify the file
name format.
This allows you to change the name of the selected file to name containing the date, time
and the specified text in a single operation. “Automatic Rename” replaces the file name
using the procedure shown below.
For example, when the selected image was shot at 9:21 and 15 seconds on March 3,
2003, and “SAMPLE” was entered in the “User Settings” field, the new name assigned is as
follows:
“Date” and “Time” specified ➔“SAMPLE2003_0303_092115AA.JPG”
“Time” only specified ➔“SAMPLE092115AA.JPG”
“Date” only specified ➔“SAMPLE2003_0303AA.JPG”
Where the new file name will duplicate an existing file name, the two letters appended to
the end of the name are automatically incremented alphabetically to prevent duplication.
If a non-Exif image file or a file with no photography date or time information is
automatically renamed, the file's time stamp is automatically used.
