How to reset the capture file number?

[Iskander]

After my first shots with my new H4D-40 the last capture file name was 'A0000149'.
Then I tested another H4D-40 (Democamera) with the same CF-Card. The first filename was 'A4490799'.
After switching the card back to my camera, the numbering started with 'A4490802' and not with 'A0000150' as expected.
But I want a continuous numbering.

How to reset the numbering in my H4D-40?

I experienced the same problem with my CFV-16 and CFV-39 .
Reformatting the CF card in the back I wanted to use , solved the problem :thumbup:

Thanks Jürgen, but reformatting did not solve my problem.
This was my first idea too.

I believe the image count information must be on the CF card , otherwise you would not have seen that count , when inserting the card back into the original camera .
Might be that David Grover (Hasselblad) can give some info .
Sorry that formating did not help , as in my case .
Did you try a couple of shots and then format ? ? ?

Iskander, sorry i don't have a solution to your problem. But i'm assuming you have the same username on Flickr. You have some great stuff on there!

Now I've found a solution.

I renamed the last file to 'A9999999'.
After the next shot it was 'A0000000'.
Then I renamed to the filename 'A0000180'...

Thanks to everybody
