[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 103002, member: 9240"] While you are correct with the assertion that the number following your photo name prefix will almost never give you your shutter activations, deleting photos is not one of the reasons. If the most recent photo on your card is DSC_9991, and you took two more, DSC_9992 and DSC_9993, but then reviewed and deleted them, the next photo taken will still be DSC_9994 regardless of whether or not you deleted the two images. The camera keeps a running counter that will only reset when it loops back around to 0000, or every time you turn on the camera if you choose to set it up that way (though I'm not sure exactly why you'd do that - though I inherited one that was set up just that way). The discrepency between the numbers (in the first 9999 actuations) has nothing to do with deletions and more to do with if and when the naming counter has been reset at any point. [/QUOTE]
