I had two new sd cards. I put one in the MA2 and formatted it. I took 3 photos and put the card in my Windows 10 desktop. I immediately got a notification in the lower right hand corner of the screen saying “There is problem with this drive. Scan now to fix it.” I clicked on the notification box and got this popup.

I red x’d out of this popup and a drive came up in Explorer that had the sd card information. I went to DCIM>100Media and there were 3 jpeg files numbered 1, 2, and 3. I deleted these files which is the same as moving them onto the desktop computer. I then re-inserted the card into the MA3 and took three more photos. This time when I inserted the card into my desktop I got the same notification but I did not click on it. After a few seconds the notification disappeared. I went to the drive which had the card and I had 3 jpeg files numbered 4, 5, 6. I inserted a new sd card in the MA2, formatted it and took three more photos. They came up 1, 2, 3. I re-inserted the original card in the MA2 after deleting 4, 5, and 6. I took three photos and they came up 4, 5, 6 instead of the 7, 8, 9 I expected!!! For some reason I thought the numbering system was built into the card. No, it’s the MA2 that numbers the photos. I re-inserted the second disk into the MA2 after deleting 1, 2, and 3. I took three photos and they came up 7, 8 and 9!!! Yay!!! Seems like anytime you format a card, the numbering system of the MA2 starts back to 1. Then, no matter which subsequent card you use, as long as you don’t format using the MA2, the MA2 numbers continuously from the previous card.
Rustic17,
Very interesting. It looks like numbering is kept internally in MA2 (not on the SD card) and gets reset by formatting action.
It would be interesting to see how MA2 handles possible conflict situation. The following experiment.
Experiment 1:
- Format two SD cards.
- Insert card one and take 3 pictures: 1, 2, 3
- Insert card 2 and take 1 picture: 4
- Format card 2 and remove it (picture 4 is gone and the counter is reset to 1)
- Insert card 1 and take 1 picture
What is the number of the last picture? It cannot be 1 becaues it would conflict with pictures already there. Is it 4?
Experiment 2:
- Format two SD cards.
- Insert card one and take 3 pictures: 1, 2, 3
- Delete picture 2 (1 and 3 are still on the card)
- Insert card 2 and take 1 picture: 4
- Format card 2 and remove it (picture 4 is gone and the counter is reset to 1)
- Insert card 1 and take 2 pictures.
What are the numbers of the last 2 pictures? 2 and 4? 4 and 5? Something different?
