EOS 30D: Recently the camera started naming the image files differently. The files are now _MG_xxxx, with an underscore instead of “I” in the first character. How did this happen, and more importantly, how do I correct it? The 30D does not have an optional naming feature.

Well, that’s simple enough. Changed back, and problem solved. Not sure why I made that change in the first place.
Thanks.

I use Adobe RGB all the time... It's a wider color gamut. It's not needed for many things, such as JPEGs online and many printing processes. But it's easy to change to sRGB for those purposes, yet keep the RAW file with the full gamut for other purposes or future needs.
You can always reduce an Adobe RGB file to an sRGB. Going the other way... you can rename it, but can't actually expand an sRGB to Adobe RGB. If you don't have the data captured in the first place, there's no going back and getting it.

Thanks, Alan. I knew there was a reason I changed it. Now just need to find a way to change the names easily in Aperture.
