File name synchronization
The GeoSnap and the camera both handle image numbering separately (i.e. the GeoSnap does
not get the actual image names from the camera but just logs the correct image name format
with a sequential numbering scheme). Because of this, it is important that the camera and the
GeoSnap be set up so that they both start numbering the images at 1 and remain synchronized
through use.
The GeoSnap system keeps track of the image name count between power cycles using the
COUNT.SYS file that is on the GeoSnap microSD card. If you want to restart the GeoSnap image
numbering at 1, simply delete the COUNT.SYS file off of the GeoSnap microSD card.
DSLR style cameras typically have two main options to handle file numbering. (The Canon 6D has
Continuous and Auto Reset; the Sony A6000 has Series and Reset). Continuous/Series file
numbering continuously numbers the images, even between power cycles or between cards,
etc. When the file numbering is set to Continuous, the Canon 6D has an option to reset the
numbering back to 1 by selecting the Manual Reset option. This will reset the numbering back to
1 then return to continuously numbering the images from there. The Sony A600, however, does
not have a Manual Reset option. Auto Reset/Reset file numbering resets the file numbering to 1
anytime that there is an SD card inserted that has no images on it or that the camera card is
formatted.
Method 1
The recommended method for handling file name synchronization is to set the camera’s file
numbering setting to Auto Reset. Then, before you start a new mission, clear all images off of
the camera’s SD card and delete the COUNT.SYS file off of the GeoSnap card. This will reset both
systems to start image numbering at 1.
Method 2 (only for Canon 6D)
(Note: This method requires unobstructed access to the camera screen and menu buttons.)
Alternatively, you can set the Canon’s “File numbering” option to Continuous and do a Manual
Reset to start it at 1. You would then delete the COUNT.SYS file off of the GeoSnap, to start it at
1, but then not delete the COUNT.SYS file after that. Both the camera and GeoSnap would then
continue numbering between flights. However, if there was the need to reset numbering to 1
(e.g. the COUNT.SYS file was accidentally deleted off of the GeoSnap card or image numbers hit
9999 and reset) then you would need to synchronize the numbering again by deleting the
COUNT.SYS file and then doing a Manual Reset on the camera’s file numbering to get both of
them synchronized back to 1.
