[QUOTE="dmagyari, post: 62806, member: 9934"] I have the same problem. It has nothing to do with camera on/off state during card removal (it can only cause problem during write operation, when the green led is blinking), neither it is card corruption. Flash memories also can't get fragmented, so (quick) formatting is only a way of quickly erasing all the files. The problem seems to be with the D5100 software. If you set [B]d3 option on[/B], the camera stores a sequence number [B]independent of the sd card [/B]inserted. When a card has a file in 100D5100 (eg DSC_0004.JPG) and the internal seq number is lower (eg 0002), a new folder will be created (101D5100), and there it will continue from the stored seq number 101D5100/DSC_0003.JPG. If the [B]d3 option is off[/B], your next picture will continue in the same folder incrementing form the file name. It will be 100D5100/DSC_0005.JPG, b[B]ut the internal seq number won't increment[/B]. You are (I'm currently) in trouble if you turn d3 on, then off (by accident eg by resetting all settings), then take some pictures, and then turn d3 on again. Then you will have duplicate file names. [B]I have found no way to set the internal seq number to a specific value, only to 0000 by reset.[/B] So once your internal seq number is not in sync with your last file, you can and must forget setting d3 on. There is a workaround, but a bit inconvenient. After transferring the files, leave the last one on the card. Leave d3 off. Then it will continue. So my only question remains: is there any trick or procedure to set the internal seq number to an explicit value? My D70 could do this, but I can't do it with the D5100. [/QUOTE]
