reset file number works in weird way. First I had to format card, reset file and catalog (!) numer to 100_PANA and P100001. Catalog reset can be done only when there are no files. Then rename folder from 100_ to 148_, and file number P100* to P148*. Now reset again file number and take photo (add 1k to file name counter) so I got 149_PANA and P1490001. Copy last file before repair and now it continues with correct numbering.

But still got question concerning service menu with number of shots taken. According to file naming I made 49k photos while counter shows only 24k. I can't believe I made 25k with electronic shutter which means more than normal shutter releases.

Thanks,

Does Panasonic still flip folders at 0999 count? My LX3 does that while every other camera brand seems to flip at 9999.

When I had to adjust my LX3 folders and file numbering I used a method like this on my page at http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~parsog/panasonic/24-fileno.html
