M10-D file name sequence, can this be changed?

How does one change the file naming convention on an M10-D? The M10-D manual references the Leica Fotos app for changing this, but once my camera (M10-D) is connected, I don't see a way within 'settings" to change the naming sequence.  thanks

hello @RMF - i don't think that there ever was such a 'feature' in the FOTOS App.  and i don't see it with my own M10-D under 'settings' of my Android FOTOS App.  i believe this feature could be true for the other M10*s but not for our simplistic M10-D.

where and in which version of that Leica M10-D manual do you find this information ?

pay attention to keep the subdirectories on your SD card such as 100LEICA/  101LEICA/ even if they are empty are as you moved the DNGs out from there.  i say this because otherwise your camera will restart=recycle the directory/file name numbering scheme (after each 10000 i believe).

Thanks @fenykepesz. I’m using the Fotos app on iOS and I don’t see anyways that allows you to change it.  See page 63 of the manual on Leica’s site https://leica-camera.com/sites/default/files/pm-73999-Leica-M10-D_Instructions_en.pdf   The other M10 models certainly allow you to change the naming sequence, odd they they left this out of the M10-D and no one caught this yet, or at least made mention of it in the forum (that I can find).
