Refine filename ?

sebchang

Hi, the filenames are currently like this
DJI_20240713175054_0026_D

I have a few questions / suggestions:

1) add a "_" between date and time, so that it's more readable, and similar to other brands like samsung
2) remove the DJI_ prefix (or move it to the end ?)

This would allow to easily sort files by chronological order when mixed with my pics & videos from the phone.

3) Not sure what the 0026 numerical ID is useful for ? Maybe have a count of total files, or avoid duplicate names in case of burst frames shot within the same second ? Anyway I don't mind it, just curious about it and why when transferred with DJI Mimo this is replaced with another - much longer - numerical id such as 1720942929674 ?
4) Also wondering what the trailing _D is for ?

In conclusion I think it's great that we finally have date & time in the filename, I don't mind the additional numerical ID at the end, I just wished there was a separator in between date & time, and no prefix so that it blends better with my other pics & videos.

PS: I made a separate thread to understand why DJI Mimo renames the files

Hi there,
thank you for reaching out.

D stands for the visual camera. To customize the file folder/footage suffix, add “_customized name” at the end of the original name. A1 file folder is generated after modifying the file folder suffix. After formatting the SD card or internal storage, the footage name of the SD card or internal storage starts from 0001, that is Year/month/day/hour/minute/second_0001_D.

We appreciate your feedback; we will treat this as a request. We will forward this to the relevant team for evaluation and attention. Thank you.

Hi, what do you mean by that ?
Is there a setting on the camera to change the file naming permanently ?
Or do you mean that I can rename the files later on my computer ?
