want the images named.

For example, choose Master Filename from the Version Name pop-up menu to have
your files stored using the current master filenames from your camera or card. Choose
a name format from the Version Name pop-up menu to have your images stored
using a specified name. If you choose a custom name format, enter the name you
want in the Name Text field. You can also apply the name format to the master file as
well. Choose Edit from the Version Name pop-up menu to define a new naming
scheme. For more information about naming files, see “
