I just picked up a new 40D and I took a couple of pictures and they started numbering in the 700's. Is this normal for Canon or do you think that this camera was used and then returned?
Thanks in advance.

Oct 13, 2007 05:19 | #8 so if you formatted the card it will start off with whatever number was last used on a previous camera? interesting. |Canon 80D|40D backup|24-105 F4/L|Sigma 70-200 F/2.8|Sigma 150-500 C|

You can format it in the new camera it goes into if you do it before taking any shots. And also, if you use the card in a different model, the whole numbering format is different, like I did recently. Went from a 30D to a D30, to a 1D. All different numbering and naming conventions and it did not carry over from one to the next, and I forgot to format it first. LOL Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Today i was browsing in the EXIF data in files made with the 40D. The EXIF data field called 'orientation' is blank in here. orientation As far as i know pics taken with the 350D had a 'upper left' in this field in the EXIF. I'm not an expert so this might be a stupid question, but why this field could be blank? Just tell them the 6.5fps is really paying off. Awesome buffer. Paul
