Nikon V1 - changing image filename

It's not clear what you want. There's a method to change the first 3-characters of the file name on the Shooting Menu... but I don't think there's a method to 'rename" existing files...

I want to rename my files but I can't find the option on my V1 menu.
Can somebody please help?

In Windows after you upload your images just right click on any image and choose "rename".
On a Mac after upload you just left click and then click again slowly and the image name will darken and a blinking cursor will appear.
​Hope this helps.

Sorry I took so long. You can't change the naming on the V1... page 120 in your manual explains the naming convention used, and page 157 explains how to re-start the numbering of the files... Sorry...

As far as I know, none of the Nikon bodies allow you to free form rename images in camera. You might want to consider renaming when downloading from your memory card as described in this thread.
