What happens when you take your 10,000th photo?
I have been using a D30 for the last couple of years and just upgraded to the 10D to photograph a car race for one of the major sponsors.
I had clocked up just under 8000 frames on the D30 and when I put my Microdrive in the 10D, it picked up the last frame used and continued the frame numbers (which was nice!)
Over the 3-day event last weekend, I took just over 2700 images - many trying to catch "magic" shots such as flames from exhausts or fast moving cars "just" crossing the finish line. There were a lot of practice shots while I got used to the considerably improved timing and feel of the new body.
So, I then start reviewing the images and I discover that one directory on the Microdrive backup has only 99 images in it when I expected it to have 100. I have been short-changed by an image under "DCIM\199CANON".
Normally, the first image in a directory is like IMG_9701 and the last image is IMG_9800.
However, there is a special case where the image that follows IMG_9999 is not IMG_0000, but is IMG_0001.
For the information of those that care...
