How can I change it similarily for tabel

A related question :How to change Figure 1: to bold Fig.1. in latex

the minimal example is :

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\numberwithin{figure}{section}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[H]
            \centering
            \includegraphics[width=0.62\linewidth]{flow}
            \caption{}
            \label{}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}[H]
    \centering
    \subfloat[]{\includegraphics[trim = 15mm 0mm 0mm 0mm, clip=true, width=8.5cm]{2.png}}
    \subfloat[]{\includegraphics[trim = 15mm 0mm 0mm 0mm, clip=true, width=8.5cm]{1.png}}
    \caption{}\label{}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

That, in general, will depend on the document class and packages that you are using. Please add a short, minimal example document so that the answer can adapt to your case. — Rmano, Mar 11 '22 at 08:15
It's called Minimal WORKING Example for a reason. Nonetheless see this. Possible duplicate? — eliasf, Mar 11 '22 at 08:54

Use the following code:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{float}
\renewcommand\thefigure{\thesection-\arabic{figure}} % the counter style
\captionsetup[figure]{labelfont={bf},name={Fig},labelsep=space} % other settings
\begin{document}
\section{This is a real MWE}
\begin{figure}[H]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.62\linewidth]{example-image}
    \caption{Foo}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}[H]
    \centering
    \subfloat[foo]{\includegraphics[width=.4\linewidth]{example-image-a}}
    \subfloat[boo]{\includegraphics[width=.4\linewidth]{example-image-b}}
    \caption{Lipsum}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

I have made some edits so it can be compiled.

The result:

Tip: Do make the MWE compilable. For images, example-image and others can be a good choice.

change Figure 1.1 for Figure 1-1
