File numbering?

[TCD photography]

Bit of a stupid question about Canon's file numbering system. My camera - PowerShot SX20 - is set to continuously number the image files, but today at photo 9,951 it started numbering them IMG_0002, IMG_0003, etc. :scratch: Does Canon start over after ten thousand shots? My Kodak didn't/doesn't...

I don't have my manual handy. What does yours say?

Haha. Great answer from the Jeweler ^^ The manual is a good place to start!

Another thing is some good old logic. If you look at your file name, you see that it only have 4 digits in it - making it most likely to start over at 9999, don't you think?

Given the 4 places it uses for numbering, it would indeed have to start over after 9999. My Canon digital rebel did.

Some cameras number their files different ways if the color space setting is changed

Must have been the color space... thanks for the input
