My Tab S 10.5 takes photos that have random numbers. How can I change the numbering to sequential?

[AC Question]

Like, I'd rather have have photos with numbers like 12345.jpg, 12346.jpg, 12347.jpg etc.

Welcome to Android Central! Are you sure they're random? They're often a combination of the date and time. Can you give us a few examples of filenames from consecutive photos?

Thanks for your reply, B.Diddy.
The numbers are indeed a combo of date and time.
Here's typical: 20160425_105709.jpg
And in the 'Date modified' column it shows '25/04/2016 10:57, so I assume I took the photo 9 seconds after 10:57.

So it's not possible to have the pics auto renumbered? No BFD, if not.

Say, are you an expert on the Galaxy Tab S 10.5? I've been trying to find out if I could somehow arrange to take photos in RAW format instead of JPG. No-one (including Samsung Help) seems to know if this is possible, either natively or with an app. I asked someone at 'A Better Camera' if their app would do it and got an incomprehensible reply which basically said 'No' and referred to 'debugging'.
Any ideas?

I don't think you can change that on the stock camera. 3rd party camera apps might save photos with different filename formats, though, so you could experiment with a few of them.

I'm not sure about the RAW question--couldn't find a definitive answer on the web. Sorry!

No probs, thanks for your advice
