The camera can't display more than 9999 images numbers, so it just starts again. You've not done anything wrong.

It should change the 1st 3 digits though shouldn't it? So instead of displaying 100-123 it displays 101-1234 to signify the fact its exceeded 9999. Shouldn't it?
One day you'll find, 10yrs have got behind you.

No, my K20D just keeps cycling through the four digit numbers. I have folder set to IMGP**** so there's no other folder name.

Don't worry - you are only committing an offence if you "clock" a vehicle's mileage - I don't think it's illegal with cameras!!

Even the K7 and K5 which I owned would go 9999 and then change to 0078 if I were to use it over 10,000 as it cannot display more than 9999.
K1/K3, DA*16-50mm F2.8, FA 31mm F1.8, FA43mm F1.9 Limited, FA77mm F1.8 Limited, SMC Pentax K 85mm F1.8, DA18-135mm F3.5-5.6, FA*28-70mm F1.8, FA*200mm F1.8

I manually changed the prefix to end in a 1 when that happened on my K5, so I get files called things like IMG10123.

I just use the prefix to identify which camera and then
A - B - C etc. for the file set.... sometimes it might have
been reset before reaching 9999... at present I'm on..
_K5C0001.JPG etc. next set will be _K5D0001.JPG to _K5D9999.JPG

I just use a file renamer with a counter set for 6 digits and apply it on import to computer. When I get to 999,999 pics I guess I'll have to start again.

Thanx all, the idea of just changing the prefix is a good one, and so is Smeggy's idea of renaming them on import.
But
What is the point of the 1st 3 digits? (100-9999) Think I need to dig out a manual....

The DCF Specification only allows UPPER CASE alphanumeric chars.
in the 1st four parts of the DOS filename. The next four have to
be a number between 0001 and 9999 ..... 0000 is not allowed.

I've just noticed the display number has gone back to 0000. Last time I noticed it was at something like 9958 so its gone past 9999 and gone back to 0000. My K10 just carried on by changing the first 3 digits, IE 101 2589.
I know its a memory setting, Playback Info Display/File No. I HAD both ticked. I looked at the K10 and it only had File No. ticked.
Any ideas on what I've done wrong?
Thanx all
