You can't use a number lower than the current number and it ignores any
number that's beyond 4 digits. When the number rolls over it will put
all the new 0001 -> 9999 numbered frames into a new folder labeled
200PENTX. To set the the camera to begin numbering from 5288, you first
need to get the camera to roll over. To do that since you are at 9709
you should rename a file to have the last four digits of 9999, in a
100PENTX directory, make one exposure, now you will have a frame called
xxxx0001 in the afore mentioned 200PENTX directory remove the card
rename that file to xxxx5288 replace it and make one exposure. That
will be named xxxx5289. Take that card out of the camera put in a new
card format that in the camera you next exposure will be xxxx5290 in the
100PENTX directory.

On my vacation, when I put a card from my K100 into my K20, it caused
the K20 to skip 4420 numbers in the frame numbering sequence. Now that
the frame numbers are reaching 9709, I want to renumber them to 5289,
and change the base filename form lrc1 to lrc2. I tried taking an
image on the card and changing it's name from lrc19709.pef to
lrc25289.pef, but the next frame was 9710.
It seems to use exif rather than frame name.
I tried poking through the menus, but couldn't find what I was looking
for. How do you change the numbers the files are being named at?
