The DataGenetics article was interesting but doesn’t explain where “DSC” comes from. Wikipedia [1] explains that it’s an abbreviation for Digital Still Camera, corroborated by the Design rule for Camera File system (DCF) [2] which also specifies “DCIM” (an abbreviation for Digital Camera IMages) as the name of the DCF image root directory.
