Some Panasonic Lumix G7 files begin with P and others with _ I wonder why that is. The numbers following seem to follow the order I take them. I thought it had something to do with the 4K or Burst mode, but I am not sure now because I still get them though I don't recall using burst or 4K.
Why are there two different beginning characters and what do they mean? And can I set them to just one character so that I don't get confused?

With most cameras the default Pxxxxxxx means sRGB colour space, the alternative _xxxxxxx usually means Adobe RGB colour space. Have you set up a custom mode that uses the alternative colour space instead of the universally accepted sRGB space?

Dig in the manual and it should explain that.
