Canon R5 File Name Issue
by Ed B.
(Doylestown, PA USA)
Canon R5 Camera
1.I had used 2021 as User Setting 1 for the file name without any problems until today. Now my files start with _021 instead of 2021. I have reformatted my cards but the issue remains. I have gone to SET UP1 - FILE NAME, erased 2021 and re-entered 2021 but the files are still coming out as _021. What should be 20210971.CR3 is now showing as _0210971.CR3. What is the solution?
2.Ok, I found the cause of the issue! I had recently changed the COLOR SPACE (SHOOT3 menu) from sRGB to Adobe RGB. When in Adobe RGB, the underscore appears (_021) and when in sRGB, no underscore (2021). Does anyone know why and how to fix this so no underscore when using Adobe RGB?
