[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 103016, member: 9240"] Which is precisely my point. As you should note, my statement says, "almost never". If you are the only person to ever have depressed your shutter button, and neither you nor anyone else has ever reset the image counter, and you have not yet taken your 10000th photo, then yes, it's entirely possible that the numbers will be in sync. But if you walk into a camera shop, grab a body off the shelf, snap a photo and see a DSC_0001 and you have no way of knowing if that's truly actuation #1 or not. Anyone can go into the Custom menus, to the shooting/display section and either turn off or reset the "File Number Sequence" option and the camera will be forever out of sync. But no one has ever accidentally reset or changed anything in their camera menus they didn't mean to, have they? ;) [/QUOTE]
