Subject: restting the numbering on a K20
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?
I don't think you can. When I bought my K20, I popped the card from my
K10 straight into the new camera, which picked up the filename of the
last image shot and started from there (something like #6800). I tried
renaming a file to 9999 and putting it into a DCIM/100Pentax directory
on the card and restarting the camera, but to no avail.

I did exactly that as well, but was able to get the camera to renumber
correctly using the technique I describe in my direct answer to the
Larry's post.
