How do you keep the photo file number continuing after deteting a full card on the Nikon D50. My D70 the file number continues on.

I am not sure but I think that with the D70 the numbers continue on a second card.

Geoff - Your D50 tracks the numbers in its computer. To continue a sequence of file numbers, do this:

1. Turn your D50 on.
2. Push the MENU button at the back of the camera.
3. Select the folder marked by a wrench and press the right arrow on the circular button to the right of the LCD.
4. Using the UP or Down arrows on the circular button, schroll to File No. Seq. which is between FOLDERS and MIRROR LOCK-UP.
5. Press the right arrow on the circular button.
6. By scrolling up or down, select ON
7. Press the right arrow on the circular button again.
8. Exit the MENU.

This should give you continuous photo file numbers until you reset your D50 or until it reaches its numerical limit. - Regards, Herb

Dave:

Yes I do have an idea. I believe that you are referencing the Simple Menu when you need the Detailed Menu.

To get the Detailed Menu, do this:

* Turn your D50 on.
* Press your Menu button.
* In the left column of your screen go to the Wrench.
* Press the right edge of the circle button to enter.
* In the selection, go to CSM/SetUp Menu.
* Press the right edge of the circle button.
* Select Detailed and press right edge of circle button.
* Find File No. Seq and press right of circle button.
* Select ON and press right edge of circle button.
* Press MENU twice to exit menu.

Good Luck!

Herb
