Anybody got an idea why it does that ? It's set to continuous file numbering . J.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Not that I have any idea if shooting a video would do that, but I was curious.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Did the card you put in the camera already have images on it? Even just one? On previous Canon bodies, I have had the camera continue numbering from where I left off if I put a disk in the camera that already had Canon images on it. This doesn't change the actuations on the camera just the file numbering.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I just can't figure out to reset the file number...then again it does not really matter. Thanks, J  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Never noticed it on my other canon bodies. Thanks for the email Herman. J  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

This is so they don't have filename collisions and the file numbers ascend correctly. Imagine what would happen if they automatically started at 1, incremented filenumbers, then suddenly ran into some old images with a higher number. When you ingested the images if you sorted by the names then you'd have new images, then old images, then new ones again.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
