After further research I think I may have discovered what triggers the abrupt switch back to original file names from the first card. I had a battery go down at just the same time that the file switched over, ie the file number was correct and continuous, my battery went dead and the file stopped and when I re-powered back up with the new battery that is when the files jumped back to the old numbers. I still don’t know why the camera did it but I know for sure that is where the jump backwards took place so you may have had some kind of similar power disruption with your shoot as well.

I’ve had this same problem happen twice with me now where I was shooting on one card which filled then it auto switched to the next card and continued the sequence along on the continuation file then switched back to the exact same numbers that the first card had started at ie it went from a continuation of file 0342_01 back to 0330_01. I couldn’t combine the folders in the xd cam browser software because of the duplicate files. I would really like to know if and when this problem is identified as it messes up my storage of the original files in one folder as I’ve found no way to re-name them. Hopefully Sony or someone out there will come up with a solution to fix this in the future.
