![]() ![]() Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for. never delete individual images from the card, only ever reformat it in camera after downloading the images to a hard drive. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".ĭo you ever have card failures/corruptions Tom? I've read that doing what you describe is one of the things that can increase the likelihood of card issues (i.e. "Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. "They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. "Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. And so I will have deleted and written over a bunch of spaces on the card, in no particular order at all.ĭoes that in any way mess up the chronologically ordered file numbering system? And when I get downtime to chimp, I won't only delete that day's new photos, but I will go back to previous days and look for some of those that can be deleted, as well.Īnd so it goes for 4 or 5 or 10 or 12 days, until the card gets nearly full. Then I do it all over again, intermittently shooting and deleting in a very random, mixed-up fashion. Then the next morning, the new day's shoot starts and I still have about 95 images on the card from the day before. Of the 135 that remain from that day's shoot, I may end up deleting 35 or 40 of them before I get tired or distracted. As I go through them I delete the nonkeepers. Then back at the motel room for the night, I go through all of the images that are on the card (about 135 at this point). Then I start shooting again and rip off 30 or 40 images. I may delete 25 of them at this first sitting. Then I may have some downtime, so I go back to that run of 109 straight images and start chimping and deleting. Then I may shoot 10 or 12 and delete 3 of them. Then I may shoot another image and delete it right away. Then I may shoot 109 images straight and not have time to delete any because the action is fast. I continually chimp and delete throughout my shooting time.Ī typical shoot may have me shoot 8 images, delete 7 of them, then shoot 27 images and delete all but 7 or 8. I think that for some of us there may be another factor at work, as well. The reason file numbers typically aren't in sync with shutter count for "normal" shooting is that the file numbers change if you put in a different card, which already has some images on it. ![]() I'm probably listening to Davide of MIMIC But for normal shooting, I think the file number will indicate the shutter count.Ĭanon R5 and R7, Canon 90D (being sold), assorted Canon lenses, Sony RX100 Anyway, there could be some situations where the file numbers get out of whack. I don't know if it would be the same for the 7D2. ![]() When I did some tethered shooting with my old 7D, I noticed that the numbering wasn't incrementing. I almost always use the same memory card for each camera, and if I DO use a different one, I format it first - so the file numbering won't get disturbed. I'm into E now, and will soon need to go to F. It is easy to manually renumber a few files near the rollover. It wasn't necessary to catch it exactly at A9999. When it got to 7D_A9999, I changed the A to B. I changed the numbering of my 7D2 so it recorded 7D_A0001 as the first number. It should work fine if you manage the rollover from 9999 to 0001. ![]()
