Anyone seen this - can't find a reference in the Canon manual for what would have caused it or how to fix it:

I noticed about a few months ago that on my Canon 20D camera the image file names are now coming up on the card as

"_mgXXXXXX.CR2" and "_mgXXXXXX.jpg" instead of "imgXXXXX.cr2" and "imgXXXXX.jpg"

maybe coincidentally that was at the time I set it to shoot simultaneous RAW & JPG but changing it back has no effect.

not machine dependant as CF cards put in both WIndows and Mac machines come up with this new name format

not a big issue but annoying none the less.



Now if it was Windows i would suggest a " Reboot " .

In this case it should be possible to return to   Defaults
which might mean removing the memory battery ... well it should have one ! ?
waiting for some time and then replacing battery .


You may also need to reformat memory stick at the same time .
