setuporg Posted December 9, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 9, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've started shooting with my M60 a lot, and one of the SD cards I had was taken out of the M10 that went to Allendale for self-care. The M60 had about 1000 shots total, and you cannot do anything about the DNG filenames or numbers, it's like an odometer you can't reset to 0. The M10 card had image numbers ending in 4721. (It's rotated around 10K a few times already.). And lo and behold, the M60 started happily writing from 4722! That's especially interesting given I name files on the M10 as ALXY1234.DNG, following Peter Krogh's DAM technique. The M60 picks up the numeric suffix and continues numbering after that. Does a regular M240/M262/M-D do that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.noctilux Posted December 9, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 9, 2018 Yes, they have same behavior. Nothing can be changed in M-D (typ 262). With other M (240/262), the file naming can be reset with appropriate sequence in "Menu". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
setuporg Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted December 9, 2018 But now it looks like we can feed it a card with a cooked number and it might continue after that one.:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Michel Posted December 11, 2018 Share #4 Posted December 11, 2018 I had a similar issue with my M9 and posted the following in the Forum. The answer I received worked perfectly, and will most likely work for you: "My M9 came back from Leica NJ with the file numbers reset to zero. I cannot find an option to reset the file numbers so they are in sequence with the images I have previously taken with this camera body. Is there a way to do it?" Answer: "Take a Photo; take out the SD-Card and rename the file on the card to the last Picturename you had. remount the SD-Card into the camera. The next photo will have the correct filename."

a.noctilux Posted December 11, 2018 Share #5 Posted December 11, 2018 Different in M-D...from M9, M240, etc. In my M-D (typ 262), I can rename or "reset " to Lxxx0001 in computer but the M-D ignore that and continue to name the next/last file record "L100yyyz", with yyyz = +1 from it's last file name when the SD was taken out.
