Nikon D800E - Is it possible to reset the frame counter?

The number in the file name does not reflect the actual number of shutter actuations with the camera.
That number should be available in the EXIF info of any photo taken with the camera.

Hello Leigh,
The full answer is that yes, the user can reset the counter at will (menu d6 on my D810), or can have the counter reset every time the card is formatted.
The number of shutter actuations cannot be changed by the user - but if the shutter is replaced (for whatever reason) that number will be reset - if I am not mistaken.

Hi Leigh
On my D800E it was
MENU button >> Custom Settings Menu >> d5: File Number Sequence >> On / Off / Reset
And in my User Manual it was page 294 (the manual can be downloaded as a pdf file).
Enjoy your new camera, it's a fabulous machine :thumbup: (which I would still use were it not for the fact that a burglar stole it from me).
Thanks, Darin.
Thanks, Steen.
This is my second D800E. I love this camera.
