I must have missed the place where it mentions restarting the file numbers when you turn the power off.

Sorry....My bad.

No worries,

It's all good. We're all here to share knowledge.

And sarcasm too, apparently.

I agree, but sometimes you are on location and downloading isnt possible.

Oh,

Sorry, don't know you so I didn't know if you were being sarcastic or sincier.

I can see this is going no where, or gone no where quick, so I'll just mosey on along.

But it seems to me that if it's set to auto reset and the numbers change when you change compact flash cards, why wouldn't it reset to zero when you turn the power off?

Have a good one.

Then you are not a fully prepared pro.

Go buy this:

Because it's not designed to. It's designed to reset when the CF card is removed and replaced......If your battery dies or whatever while you are shooting then it would fuck up your file order if it had to start a new folder and renumbering.

Also.....The camera has an auto power off setting. If you are dealing with other business in the middle of a set and the camera powers down then resets the file numbering then you would have the same issue.

I also have the same camera, who finds the downloading software shit, i find it very hard to use, i use an excellent program called

Why do people use 3rd party programs to download?

I don't get it.

What do you use AaronM, i have just found that the canon software is not user freindly

See Sig!

As a general rule of thumb....When I buy hardware, the very first thing I do is throw away whatever shit programs / CD's they send with it.

Why should I install a 3rd party program to transfer files when ALL computers come with that ability already?
