GH4 GH4 Skipping File Numbers Since Upgrading to V.2.4

[Benjobe]

I shot an event tonight with my GH4 and when I offloaded the footage I noticed that the file numbering structure was off. The file numbers skipped from P1040832 to P1050001. This happened right in the middle of a series of shots and I did nothing to the camera, not even turn it on & off, to make it happen.

Here's a screen grab to show what I mean:



So far this glitch hasn't reproduced itself in my other GH4 which also is running the current V.2.4 firmware.

Has anyone else experienced this sort of malfunction? Should I be worried about it?

rogar-Shock(DBG): I'll have to try that

Have you tried doing a complete camera reset ?

 

[Benjobe]

No I have not. My understanding is that it only resets the custom controls. I have those dialed in exactly how I like them. I would prefer not to have to replicate them all if it's not necessary.

Did you shoot any stills between takes?

Did you shoot any stills between takes?

Nope. I did nothing to the camera between those clips. Not even power cycle it. This is why I'm stumped by the number skipping.

This happens on my GH4, but I have no idea what causes it. You may also notice that when it happens, it creates a new folder on the SD card for the .mov files...EG, P1040832 resides in DCIM/104_PANA, and P1050001 shows up in DCIM/105_PANA. I haven't noticed any bugs with the files though. My GH3 does it as well...I just assumed it was a weird quirk with the way Panasonic handles it's file structures.

So, this may be obvious, but the camera normally does this when going from (for example) P1200999 (which will be in a folder called 120_PANA) to P1210000 (which will be in a folder called 121_PANA) and then P1210001.
