The image has the same name as the file that is used to create it, unless:
-you use the animation feature by setting the final_frame in the command 
line and then using frame_number in the scene to decide which camera to 
display. In this case the files are numbered by the frame number.
Example:
#if(frame_number==n)
  camera{
   ...
  }
#end
-you set output_file in the command line, which overrides the automatic 
naming completely. In this case you select the camera to be rendered 
manually.
-the newest beta has a real-time camera animating feature that renders 
all the cameras one after another. However, I don't know whether this 
feature saves any of these images.

Unless you use the last option specified (I assume you use v3.6 - which 
you should) Povray always renders the last camera added to the scene.

the command line options are typed in the text box next to where you 
select the output resolution (second from the left).

you ever saw a beautiful scenery and regretted not to take your 6" 
reflective ball and a digital camera, thinking "this would have been a 
perfect light probe"
