Sony A7R IV Initial file number?

[PPD]

Hi, what should be the initial file number on a new A7RIV? Thanks!

0001, Its resets at 9999

Thanks! That’s what I thought. But mine came and the file number is 8000+. What could this mean?

That it's been used, at least an 8000 shutter count.

That's what I thought too. But I realized that the first chip I'd used in the new A7RIV had some ARW files numbering in the 8000's from another Sony camera. The A7RIV took the largest file number and incremented it by one. Then continued to increment the file numbers on a new blank chip, which confused me. Thanks for the replies!

Ahh that would do it I guess., though it really should start over.

Im not sure but I would guess the file number is nothing to do with shutter count. I think if you format your cards it will read 0000.

For accurate shutter count I use this http://tools.science.si/?fbclid=IwAR34CouMB6_PpS995FzJPoWIKOaWD2LRc7LqScEoZ8S1XF9JL1f5Pjq5obc
