Re: filename rollover in D70

It would be nice if there was an option to use the time & date as the file name. That's what happens when you shoot tethered to a laptop and it's the only option in that mode AFAAIK so it kind of messes up the consistency.

PS the second to last EXIF item is the number of shots done on the camera, mine reads 33119 as of yesterday evening but that includes some time lapse movies shot at that lowest smallest setting.

Didn't know you could do that. Can you tell me how it's done?


Doesn't anyone take 30 sec to RTFM anymore? Hint: get a copy of the manual
in PDF off the Nikon Tech Support Site so you can keyword search or at
least use the internal links.

From p. 157:

Folder Names On the memory card, folder names are preceded by a three-digit folder
number assigned automatically by the camera (e.g., 100NCD70) Each folder
can contain up to 999 photographs. If a photograph is taken when the
current folder contains 999 files or a picture numbered 9999, the camera
will create a new folder by adding one to the current folder number (e.g.,
101NCD70). For the purposes of selection and naming, all folders with the
same name are treated as the same folder. For example, if the folder NIKON
is selected, pictures in all folders named NIKON (100NIKON, 101NIKON,
102NIKON, etc.) will be visible when Current is selected in the Playback fl
dr menu ( 126). Renaming similarly applies to all folders with the same
name. During shooting, pictures are stored in the highest-numbered folder
with the selected name.

and from p. 159:

File No. Seq.
When a photograph is taken, the camera names the new file by adding one to
the last file number used. This option controls whether file numbering
continues from the last number used when a new folder is created, the
memory card is formatted, or a new memory card is inserted in the camera.
Highlight File No. Seq. in the setup menu ( 155) and press the multi
selector to the right. Press the multi selector up or down to highlight an
option, then press to the right to make a selection.

Option Description
On
When new folder is created, memory card is formatted, or new memory card
inserted in camera, file numbering continues from last number used. If
photograph is taken when current folder contains photograph numbered 9999,
new folder will be created automatically and file numbering will begin
again from 0001.

Off
(default) File numbering reset to 0001 when new folder is created, memory
card is formatted or new memory card is inserted in camera.

Reset
As for On, except file numbering is reset to 0001 with next photograph
taken (new folder will be created if current folder already contains
photographs).
