Camera files

[manuel_odabashian]

<p> I've gone past 10,000 images on my A900 so it starts from 0 again this was ok in the begining but then it started going to 9800 and so on why is this and do i have to rename the files in some way any help would be appreciated thanks</p>

<p>It is not clear to me what you mean. Do you mean the filename jumped from say, 100 to 9800 or do you simply mean you're approaching 20,000 photos shot with the camera? </p>

<p>Why do you feel you need to rename your files? Is your file organization not able to handle files with the same name?</p>

<p>Do you have any other DSLR body and do you sometimes swap the same memory card(s) between that one and your a900? That can scramble the file count in either or both cameras.</p>

<p>I don't know what the cause is in your situation but I can say, on my Maxxum 7D, I've gone past 35K pics and have no issues with the file naming.</p>

<p>After i went over 10,000 it started from 0 again fine but then jumped to about 9800 for no reason</p>

<p>Someone's been using your camera behind your back LoL<br>

Seriously though, one of the explanations above about swapping cards between cameras seems plausible to me ... though I can't really say if I have noticed a problem like you described and I do swap cards amongst my (different brand) cameras.</p>
