Sony α7R III file numbers

Hi
I am using Sony α7R III for video and filmmaking.
Each time I insert a new card or a formatted card, the file numbers are returned to C0001. The numbering starts with C0001 even when I switch between slots.
Since I plan to do long documents and functions, I usually use 5 or 6 cards during long firing. I will have hundreds of files with the same number.

How to fix it?

Thanks for the help.
But this only works on тhе still images.
How to do this with video files?

Hi again dreamer2018,

 

I've checked and this is within the the specifications of the camera. As a workaround, you can delete the videos instead of formatting the card, this will keep the sequence but only on every card not on all of them.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Cheers,
