If it's not possible for this to be done in the camera, the
simplest way to get what you want is to immediately rename the files
after transferring them to the computer. It shouldn't require
special software, and if you're using Windows, it's quite simple.
Just open a DOS window where the image files exist and they can be
renamed or copied by typing:

REN DSC*.* D50*.* <ENTER>
or
COPY DSC*.* D50*.* <ENTER>

If you're not familiar with DOS commands, it might be best to
first practice with copies of files to prevent an unrecoverable
mistake.

Linux/*nix should have equivalent commands, so I suppose that the
latest Mac OS should also be able to do this, but the command syntax
will probably be slightly different.
