How does the unique file naming in Digital Cameras works?

How does the unique numbered file naming in the digital cameras work. How two files from different cameras of same company even never are same?

Answer by atomterrible
Different manufacturer’s use different ones. The folder scheme is different as well. Two cameras of the same brand don’t necessarily have the same name pattern any. I reckon the more professional List cameras use something different than the PowerShot series for example. There are two ways cameras name the pictures as well. You can set it to continuous, where it will count from 0000 to 9999 and then recycle, or it will reset every time you unload the memory card.

Simply, different brands always use a different set of folders and file names.

I really have two questions. One is about how digital cameras really capture images and make image files. The additional is about how cameras end up taking rectangular pictures. I mean, if you look at cameras. the lenses are circular, so how do they end up taking rectangular pictures, and why? Why are movies and photos always square, rather than circular?

Answer by lexiie
well;; yes the LENS are circular. but the object inside the lens that really captures the photo inside is a square, rectangular shape. the lens are circular so that the camera may maybe get a 360 degree look at the object that the camera is capturing.
