In my case, my Nikon names an image something like _DNC4911.dng. I re-name the image 2024-07-26-1.dng or whatever the date is. The image is then adjusted in Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop and saved or exported as a .tif, .psd, ..png, or .jpg depending on the intended use. If I link to one of my images, the file name in that format tells you when that image was taken. Associating the date-taken with the image by making it the file name has many advantages. Using the camera-assigned file name, the date-taken can be determined in Irfanview or other viewers, but it's an extra step. I do follow the US custom of month/day in numbers, but FastStone would accept 2024-JULY-26.01 if I choose to do so.
