File numbers at DVinfo.net

Hai !

A question ;-)
Every time, when I format a SD card, the FS100 begins with the same number : 00000.MTS and counting.
Does anybody knows a trick to have exclusive numbers ? (so new numbers, every time , even when I format a card)

I was used to that, with my Canond 5D

rgds, Daan

I don't see where there is a setting to maintain shot numbering between cards.

Sorry.. Maybe I'm not clear.
I 'm looking for a setting in the camera, where the numbers will count from 00000.MTS to >> . So every clip that was shot with the FS100 wil get an unique number.

There is no setting for that.

The timecode is on the files and will run continuously but there doesn't seem to be any way to have a counter number continuously, like on the 5DII or other DSLRs. I haven't yet figured out how to see the timecode in Premiere Pro.

AVCHD was designed so any computer with a DVD burner running Windows 95 or better could be used to make AVCHD disks. To achieve this design goal the camera uses a FAT32 filesystem, breaks longer videos into 2GB chunks and creates a complete BDMV catalog which can be burned directly to disk and played in compatible bluray players. However, I suspect most NEX-FS100 owners don't use Windows 95 to make AVCHD disks and would prefer if the video files could be longer than 2GB and had distinct numbering.
