[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 103029, member: 9240"] Did a quick search and on the D5100 there is apparently an option for "File Number Reset". Unless it's turned "On" this is what happens: [I]"When a new folder is created, the memory card formatted, or a new memory card inserted in the camera, file numbering continues from the last number used or from the largest file number in the current folder, whichever is higher. If a photograph is taken when the current folder contains a photograph numbered 9999, a new folder will be created automatically and file numbering will begin again from 0001."[/I] So it is not the act of reformatting but the setting of the option coupled with one of the other actions. I organize the same way, but with multiple cameras and whatnot it's one less way of having collisions. If I reformat two cards in two cameras on the same day, I'm screwed from the get-go. I do everything I can to avoid it, from different prefixes in different cameras, to never resetting the counter. Saves me from thinking about something I shouldn't have to think about. [/QUOTE]
