Any people know how to make the change it.

Thanks

Do you mean the file names as the camera writes them to the card or when they're on your pc?!

when the camera write them.

I know how to change file name out of camera, thats a peice of piss, just need to know how to change in camera.

Have a look in the camera's menu, it's a simple prefix change

I have looked in the camera's menu, cant seam to find it. the 1D has different setup layout compared to my N series, bit of a backwards step for me.

I wouldn't be surprised if you have to connect the camera up to the computer via the firewire cable and change the settings there. Make sure you have the Canon driver installed before-hand though.

Why does it matter?

You can't change the file name in camera on the 1D(s) / 1D(s)2...

Rene is correct the filename prefix in the 1 series bodies is unique and could only be changed by Canon )I believe).
However you could set aRGB as your colourspace and then the first letter/number is replaced by an underscore eg 2CBB would become _CBB; I am presuming that the original 1D works the same as the Mk2 in this.
