[John Heagy] " Is there a card name setting where one can determine how new cards are named? Ideally each time a card gets formatted it would be assigned a unique name that would pass on to the QT "Tape/Reel" name."

The cards need to be formatted in camera due to the nature of the UDF format. Card naming can be done in limited manner with the current version of the camera software.
