Re: DP1M continuous numbering creates 105SIGMA folder
Hello, Ceistinne -
Your PM suggestion turned out to work. Despite doing an erase all with the DP1M on my exFAT-formatted 64GB SD card, it kept incrementing like if nothing happened, either in continuous or reset all mode.
Not sure whether this is because I had other firmware files in root and then some .fs/.trash recycling directories that might have been created by another camera as I lent the card to someone for just one picture !
In any event, under Windows, I ensured to use a clean command in diskpart, and for everyone's benefit, used the following commands :
1) Start command prompt with admin rights (by right clicking command prompt in menu/run as admin)
2) enter diskpart command
3) ensure you select the right disk (!) :
DISKPART> lis dis
DISKPART> sel dis n (n being the one that has the closest size)
DISKPART> det dis
If you are still not sure, look at the contents & format of the drive letter shown ; you don't want to clean & format the wrong disk.
DISKPART> clean
DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk.
DISKPART> create partition primary
DiskPart succeeded in creating the specified partition.
DISKPART> format fs=exfat label="Sigma DP1M" quick (use fs=fat32 if SD card is 32GB or less)
Of course only do this if you are experiencing the issue.
Note that Windows XP does not include exFAT file system by default, so if you have a partition bigger than 32GB, you have to download the update from Microsoft.
I then tried autoreset and continuous and they worked perfectly as expected.
Thanks so much,
Chris
