Even when I work with two or more cameras I upload everything into a date keyed job, event or location folder, sort by date/time captured and then do the renumber so merge the multiple sources into the right chronolgical order (matters with sport or news for example). I use a different prefix on different cameras (but all my cameras use same date/time) so they can't conflict.

When I upload I immediately renumber my images with a date code and sequence number so I never run in to the filename issue. Once I realised it was not what I thought I ignored it! Much easier to do what I do.Īre you sure it wasn't just reflecting the frame number resetting after 10k actuations?Might well be, that had crossed my mind. Won't work unless you change the 2nd one's name. so theoretically, I might put a new bluejay image in the same folder as one from the first 10,000, with the two having the same file name. I have, in the past, gathered like images together in one folder. Those are my name initials or short for Betty. After 10,000, I might use BET or whatever.

I now pay attention, and when I hit 10,000, I reset and change the leading letters for the file name.īrand new camera would be BAL. When I bought my first digital camera, I made that mistake because I didn't understand what was going on.

If you ignore it and for any reason gather up images from the first 10,000 and some from the second 10,000 that happen to have the same numbers, you'll get a prompt about replacing the first image. I had probably done some sort of reset or whatever.Īre you sure it wasn't just reflecting the frame number resetting after 10k actuations? I thought PM was showing actuations on my 1Ds3 - until it suddenly started counting from zero again. The samee with PhotoMechanic, unfortunately i was once told it's not accurate, something to do with images processed over a given time and not camera shutter count. With Nikon you can check the EXIF Raw data under File Info in PhotoShop.
