Various JPG File Names
I recently took about 700 pictures with my Canon 20D using a single 2Gig
card. When I uploaded the files to my computer I noticed that some file names were of the type _MG_1242.JPG while some others were something like IMG_1427.JPG. Why do most file names begin with an underscore _, while others are preceded with the letter I (as in IMG). Why are they labelled differently? How do the files differ?

When's the last time you formatted the card? What other Canon do you or did you shoot with? -- john mcwilliams

Canon's manual indicates that when the color space is set to Adobe RGB, the file name will start with an underscore character.

It could be that the camera saved them as sRGB because the camera software isn't all it is supposed to be or because the user told the camera to save them as sRGB. Jim

Jim I realize that some pictures were taken in Program mode while others were in Landscape. I think that is the cause of the discrepancy.
