    Sony Dsc W150 Changing File Numbers
    Hi,

    I use a digital camera purely and simply for work. I have to photograph and detail items for customers in factories all over China, Thailand Indai etc. I do this by having an excel sheet set up with a macro which searchs the path to the file number of the photos stored on either the memory stick or the camera hard drive.
    This macro is simple and easily adjusted, however it is TOTALLY dependent upon being able to have the camera reset the file number of the photos stored to 101 0001 ,0002, 0003 and so on as the macro looks for these numbers to work.
    Having dropped my trusty little Sony of nearly 5 years in a snow puddle in the UK last week, where it died, I bought the SONY DSC W150, good value great camera, but I cannot for the life of me find out how to change the file number to reset so it goes back to number 0001 each time I format the hard drive or memory stick.
    I am currently in China and dying here maually downloading the photos into excel sheets.
    Can someone please help me?
    Rgds

    Not much you can do except maybe reset/reinitialize the camera. But if it's an excel spreadsheet, it's probably an easy matter of just editing the macro.
