Wondering if anyone can help me. There is 2 settings for file numbering in camera mainly renew or continuous and it must have been on continuous when I put my card in as after taking a shot, the file number reads DSCF534_4520. (Before this, SD card was already formatted with the camera.)

I then changed it to 'renew' in the menu and reformat the card again and took a shot . It changed back to DSCF100_0001 which was a relief. I shot around 50 shots while playing with the camera and tried loading it to the pc. All was good.

Last night I went out to shoot and forgot the card and therefore I used another card. Please note at this point I changed the setting to continuous hoping that it will continue the file numbering. The number continued sequencing to DSCF534_4521. (This card was also formatted after I put it in.)  

Thinking that it may be card dependent, when I reached home, I pulled out my card and put back the previous one and tried a test shot. the number continued DSCF534-4523. 

 

Assuming if I were to use the same card after formatting and using "renew". There would be no problem. But once the card gets full and I format, it will reset to 0 again causing a high possibility of duplicate file names. Or if I use a new card, it will also reset to 0 as stated in the manual (See attached image). Manual was not very helpful.

I remember it wasn't like this when I was using my Sony A7II or Nikon D7100. Whichever card I throw at it will continue the number. Anyone has any idea how to rectify this? 

 

Thanks

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
