Use Internet-friendly i le and folder names.
When it's time to share
i les, having used Internet-friendly names from the start is a big time
saver. Most importantly,
don't use spaces in names;
use dashes or
underscores to separate words instead.
Don't use special characters
like
“/”, “$”, “@”, “%” and
no punctuation
. Parentheses () and apostrophes '
should be avoided.

h e names of your folders should be consistent with the names of
the i les they contain.
h e automatic i le names the camera assigns to i les are not useful in our

i les to something more meaningful. Your base i le name should contain:
1. h e date the photo was taken;
2. h e subject or location of the photograph or an identii er such as client
name, etc.; and
3. Serial (sequence) number.
