Non-Incremental File Names in THETA SC

Noticing this is Reddit today from user @asktoby, asking about file naming conventions in RICOH THETA SC. Cross-posting here:

What’s the rationale behind the Theta SC’s random file naming? My photos get names like: JPEU5935.jpg, GMBM7064.jpg, XDOE2360.jpg. It makes it hard to sort them. Is there any way to name them incrementally like DSCF001.jpg.

Here’s the original Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/RicohTheta/comments/5o4kaf/theta_sc_random_file_naming_xdoe2360jpg/

To bad actuarily
it is the same thing with apple mobile devices
filenames are rather encrypted, but on the device it is well categorized.

Ricoh has to make a software that import and categorize via the Exif Photo data

Imported to Dropbox in Camera Uploads it will be renamed and get a date and time
