my D300 "rolled over" to 10,000+ x / how to change prefix?
Re: my D300 "rolled over" to 10,000+ x / how to change prefix?
I'd like to change the "DSC" to "DSC1" but the file naming item in
the menu seems to only want 3 characters, not 4?
Why not go to "ESC", then "FSC", the "GSC"...etc? You'll get 220,000 more images before you run out of the alphabet....the camera will probably be outdated or dead before that happens! Or....forget the letters altogether and use "002", "003", etc instead of the letters. That would give you 990,000 images and the camera will probably be outdated or....:)
Personally, I use two D300's and the files are called SS1 and SS2 so I can tell the files apart if the numbers overlap on the same assignment plus it has the added advantage of tracking a broken camera/dirty sensor just by the file number. Each assignment's images go into a file named for the date shot and my client's name so it it doesn't matter to me if there are two 001's or any other file number.
Just a thought.

Chris and Jordan are out of the office this week, so we're taking a trip in the wayback machine to feature a classic episode of DPRTV: a review of the EOS R, Canon's first full-frame mirrorless camera.

It says Olympus on the front, but the OM System OM-1 is about the future, not the past. It may still produce 20MP files, but a quad-pixel AF Stacked CMOS sensor, 50 fps shooting with full AF and genuine, IP rated, weather sealing show OM Digital Solutions' ambition. See what we thought.
Is the GH6 the best hybrid camera there is? Jordan has been shooting DPReview TV with the Panasonic GH6 for months, so he has plenty of experience to back up his strong opinions.
DJI's Mini series has always been a great entry-level option for beginners, hobbyists, or those willing to sacrifice features for size. But with its newest model, the Mini 3 Pro, DJI promises to bring pro features to its most compact model. Does it succeed?
