highjack!!! Can I ask a question? On my Nikon D80 is there a way to set my photo numbers to infinity or say 1000 or 10,000? Before it starts all over...I'm having a problem with duplicate photo numbers. Mind you I start all over in 2009, 3 days from now. But I'd like to re-start my numbering on the camera for next year so I don't run into this problem again. footnote, I always clear my memory card that's why it starts back at 0001 over and over again.

Your menu is different, but I would put File No. sequence on??

I just didn't know if that was the right area or not. And I ASSUME that the reset is to reset your number count back to zero at any given point. (for me once a year)

I am in the dark here, check your manual, but if you get a reset everytime you format your memory card, I would guess that a reset now and going to continous would get rid of that problem. Remember, I am a man and we don't read manuals, which is why we f**k up so often:)

Haven't been able to find my manual...GOOGLE to the rescue...(how many times a day do I google???)

Haha! Your personal habits are not my business:))

I think the manual is the best bet. I had hoped both cameras were similar, but there are differences. However, I think you need continous numbering for at least 999 photos before next numbering sequence starts.

Even with the file numbering turned on, all of my Nikons revert to 0000 at each 10,000 interval. Just sayin'.

Kind of a necessity, since there are only four digits available -- my Canon does the same. However, in the serial number field, there are three more digits which show how many times this reset has been performed, and the folder created on the card where the photos go is likewise numbered to show how many times the number has been reset. For example, my current folder is 104, and this EXIF shows the relationship between the current image ID number and serial number:

Note that if the card is used in another camera (like you lend it to someone) and then use it again without reformatting it can reset the image numbering.
