Jack, Take the memory card you had in the camera before you sent it for repair. Put it back in camera. The next shot should have the next number in the sequence and the camera will be back to normal. Alternatively, take a new next image, say IMGP9822. Remove the card to your computer. Rename the image to IMGP3700. Re-install the card and your next image will be labeled IMGP3701. Regards, Bob S.
