Hi together,
We are in the process of revising our camera metadata and would like to know if saving the shooting day in a new metadata would be helpful.
For example, the shooting day could appear in the folder name on the recording medium or as an alternative to the date.
e.g.


if for the first day of shooting the reel name is like this:
AL0001C0001_YYYMMDD_6ZJ

the matching folder name could be as follows:

with date only
YYMMDD_AL0001_6ZJ

with shooting day and date
D0001_YYYMMDD_AL0001_6ZJ


Or folder name with shooting day without date
D0001_AL0001_6ZJ

To enter the shooting day, it should be possible to send metadata from an external device to the camera via CAP Protocol or to enter metadata directly into the camera menu.

We would be pleased about your opinion and suggestions
