It is useful then if we can create folders with names that reflect where we took the pictures, and file names that have meaning too.
The file numbers that cameras produce tend to show only the sequence in which they were shot, and if you shoot only in raw format many browsers won’t be able to show you what places, people, things or occasions those files relate to.
I find being organised quite difficult and consequently my image archive isn’t especially easy to navigate. This feature is useful for a wide range of occasions, but it’s especially helpful when we’re away. Instead of coming back with a pile of images with meaningless names in numbered folders we can take control of where images go and what they are called.
The Lumix folder and file name customisation facility is especially useful for trips away when you are visiting different places.
