Not sure if this is the right area.

Anyway, not a huge issue, but I've had the camera set for some timelapse today. 6 hours, every 30seconds which by my maths is 720 images.

I've just loaded the card, and there are 3 folders 100Canon 101Canon 102Canon. I know why this happens, that's not my question.

Looking in folder 101Canon, I notice the image (filename) goes from "IMG_0130" and then jumps to "IMG_9736" which of course created folder 102 (folder 100 would have been "nearing the end" anyway so to speak).

Any idea why this would happen? As I say, it's not too much of an issue as all it means is I'll just have to import 3 folders into After Effects and then stitch each group of sequences together.
 
cameras typically make a new folder every 1000 images i think, but cant tell you why they do that, maybe its a historical limitation ?
 
I understand the new folder. It's just why did it jump from file "IMG_0130" to "IMG_9736"
