robservation #30: in case you were wondering when your camera's odometer will roll over

rob  |  30 July 2007 - 9:23pm

On a recent trip I noticed that the photo file names from D-Fiddy were approaching DSC_9999.NEF. The four digits in the file name track the shutter counter on the camera body, so I was quite curious to see if photo DSC_9999.NEF would be followed by DSC_10000.NEF or DSC_0000.NEF. As it turns out, it is neither; the counter resets to DSC_0001.NEF (which means, incidentally, that on the second counter reset the camera will not have taken 20,000 photos as would be expected, but rather only 19,998. Skipping 0000 in the counter sequence seems like an odd choice to me...).

Anyway, our camera's "odometer" flipped over 10,000 photos after about 500 days of ownership, which works out to an average of about 20 photos per day. Since we post daily photos on juxtapose, that means that about 1 out of every 20 photos makes it onto the photoblog.

You do realize, Rob, that you are making people swoon with these techie posts.

Hmmm....I will definately have to check my camera counter now and figure out my average. It's gotta be pretty high.

Oh, Rob, you always get me all hot and bothered with your geeky, math-y posts. ROWR.

Ahem. Sorry, Kelly.
