Pentax K50 SD Card Question

grcolts · 01-29-2015, 08:03 PM

When shooting with my Pentax K50, the images when uploaded from my SD card to my Mac are all out of sequence. This does not happen with any of my other Pentax bodies, only on the K50.
Is there a setting somewhere to change the sequence order of images shot with the K50? Does anyone else have this problem? It is frustrating as I like to work on my images in sequence when PP.
Thanks!

The file numbers should be sequential. Was your pc sorting them by something else?

I have a K-50. Fine on my Windows PC.
I agree with Adam, you may be sorting them by size (Mb).

I have a Mac and when uploading from the camera, images are sequential..... are you using iPhoto to upload or another app?

Images from my K-50 & K-3 are sequential on my PC and my Mac.

On the Mac, go to the top menu bar, click on "View", then "Arrange By" to select Name instead of whatever it is set to.

But not with the K-50 itself. When I load my pictures into Silkypix, they load as if they're all text files, so, if numbered, they look like this: 1, 10, 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,20,21...

Yes, I did that and on the file they do arrange themselves the way I want them to.
Then, when I open that file using my post processing software (ASP2) they open up all disarranged again. Strange. So, maybe ASP2 is doing something to the files? This is strange as I don't have this problem with any of my other cameras or cards.

Thanks!

Without loading the photos to the computer, just look at the image file name on the camera when viewing (IMGPxxxx... etc.), are they out of sequence? If not, then it is the software you use that has problem, not the camera.
