Not sure how to explain this but I'll try;
I've had my D5100 'File Number Sequence' set to on, and it was saving images to the 100D5100 folder (default) with sequential numbers.
Recently took mem card out to copy pics to PC and on inserting card again, it started saving pics to 101D5100 and at DSC_0001
Deleted the folder (after copying the new pics and renaming them), but it went back to recreating the same folder and starting from 0001.
So I deleted the new folder again, and switched the file number sequence off, and this time it started at the last number it had used (0015 or something).
Annoying!!!
After some playing around of taking pics and deleting them and so on eventually managed to get it back to saving in the first 100D5100 folder, but the last pics I took in there were DSC_0535 and now the new ones start at 0545 (so has lost about 10 pic names in the process).
I can't rename eg. DSC_0545 to DSC_0536 as the next pic I take ends up being 0546!!!
My question is now, if I change the mem card - what the 'eck is my numbering going to start from!!
I don't want and can't have it revert to 0001 (and with file number sequence on it shouldnt), but also if it does what do I do??
Any help appreciated
