File Names Changed

RCP

When my camera (Canon 6D) imports into Lightroom 4, the file names are usually named IMG_#### (whatever number the photo is...) Now when it imports it's called _MG_### - I can't find where to change it back and that missing "I" is bugging me. I'm not sure if it's a setting in my camera, or in my LR4. Does anyone here know?

Then change the color space so it will generate the file name you want or you can change it in LR upon import. But at least, you don't have to worry which color space you'll end up with to get the desired file name.

Yeah, that's correct. It's the camera's settings - Adobe RGB vs sRGB. It has nothing to do with LR4.

 

However, I disagree about changing it back.

 



Since he is shooting RAW, he can change it back. You know that RAW file doesn't have color space right. It's only applicable with JPG. So if you are shooting RAW, you can change the color space so that it will give you the desired filename.
