is this a computer or camera problem

[dave2]

i put a copy of my pics into a my new tablet and most of the pics copy ok but some file names inside the folder seem to change into capital letters and numbers in a few files

all the problem pics were taken by a sony cybershot mx1

so has anyone any ideas if the camera , my tablet or my computer is causing this or seen anything like it ?

thanks a lot ... dave2

I'm guessing that the filename was either too long or contained a banned character symbol and was converted to a FAT16-style name. Which operating system or sub-application did this... don't know.

I've never seen it happen on recent devices, but then I've gotten into the habit of leaving the filename as the camera created it (DCIM, IMG, IMAG, -xxxx, etc), placing the files in folders dated by year-month.
