Here's a YouTube video covering the discovery process. Ultimately, one person found it, but they were part of a wider team piecing together many parts of a puzzle, including outdated phone image numbering schema. I found it to be a worthwhile summary that doesn't really assume the viewer has much previous knowledge.

- zerocrates 2y agoThe Cybershot is a point-and-shoot digital camera, not a phone. Though Android does still use the DCIM folder, that whole basic structure, for compatibility with things that are looking for photos on drives, SD cards, etc. I think Sony phones even still use the DSC filename prefix for their photos.
- _cenw 2y agoMaybe you want to re-confirm that. In the late 2000s Sony Ericsson had a line of phones that had a focus on (then) high end integrated cameras called the C-Series, the C standing for Cybershot.
