Image numbering Canon EOS 1D Mk IIN

[barrypriddis]

I have reached a milestone and now taken over 10,000 images with this camera. However, when I load the images into Canon DPP to adjust the RAW files, the image number is recorded as 0001 instead of 10001. The camera is set to continuose for file numbering. Can anyone help?

Its normal I think; I know the 450D does this as its on the 3th loop on mine

My 400d did this as well. However, I think that the numbering changed from
100_9999
to
101_0001
internal to the image.

It's the way it works. You can't change it. If you want your pictures numbered above 10000 then you'll have to do it yourself, either manually or with a program.

Thanks everyone. Thought there might be a simple way of doing this, but obviously not.

I am guessing that I know the answer to this already, but what OS are you on?
If you are on linux, then something along the lines of the following would print out commands suitable for renaming all CR2 files in a directory, dependant on the file number stored within the exif data itself.

ls -1 *.CR2 |while read R; do T=`exiftool $R |grep "File Number" |perl -e 'while(<>){if(/File Number\s+:\s[0-9]([0-9][0-9])-([0-9]+)/){print "$1$2";}}'`; echo mv $R $T.CR2 ;done
