Minor problem: EOS 1D X Custom File naming

[Rainer SLP]

Hi,

The 1D X has the ppossibility to mke a custom file name.

So that was one of the first things I made but encountered then a problem ...

It does not respect the naming-

For example i keyde in ABCD in cusotmer setting one adn when I started shooting the name on the card appeared as _BC_

So it ignored the first and last letter and according to the manual I am able to use 4 letter or numbers in Setting 1

¿ Anybody had the same ? or did i do something wrong. I read the whole chapter file naming and did it like it is explained in there ¿?

Thank for any tip

Hi,

The first character is usually changed to an underscore when you set the Adobe RGB colorspace for your JPEGs. I don't have the 1DX, but I'm sure it is also mentioned somewhere in the manual why the fourth character changed.

Cheers,
Bart


P.S. According to the User Manual, page 157: When you shoot a movie with User setting2, the file name's fourth character will be an underscore "_".

Hi Bart,

Thank you very much. There is nothing mentioned in the 435 page User manual so far or I have not got to thtat specific page yet 

One hopes that putting in 4 letters the files will be named like that, but at the endeffect the software does make whatever it wants ...

OK, will then try to fiddle out a system that fits my thinking 

Bart, again thanks
