Photographs are saved using file names consisting of “DSC_” or,
in the case of images that use the Adobe RGB color space
(0 179), “_DSC”, followed by a four-digit number and a three-
letter extension (e.g., “DSC_0001.JPG” or “_DSC0002.JPG”). The
File naming option is used to select three letters to replace the
“DSC” portion of the file name as described in “Text Entry”
(0 160).
