That's up to your own system.  Images come out of the camera with
descriptors determined by the camera.  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.
