I was shooting an event yesterday and had a strange issue with my Z9. I had taken over 5000 images for the day when I had a lockup, the viewfinder worked but I could not take any photos or access any menus, I powered the camera off, it took about 10 seconds to power down, I powered the camera back on again, and took another 5000 images before the end of the day with no issues. This is the first time I have had any issues with my Z9 but I have only had it since August 2022, shutter count at 125,000+.
I filled my Delkin Black 330Gb card and it overflowed to the second card, a ProGrade Cobalt sometime late in the evening. What is strange is the folder/file numbering issue that occurred at what I believe to be the time of the lockup. I knew it would be a busy day so I did a complete format of both cards in camera before shooting. I noticed a problem when I started to import the images.
Here is the structure on Card Slot 1 the 330GB Delkin Black
Folder 110Z9MRD created at 10:03 contained 5,000 images - 2296 to 7295 - from 10:03 to 3:27 - Nikon created a new folder after 5000 images in the folder
Folder 111Z9MRD created at 3:27 contained 222 images - 7296 to 7517 - from 3:27 to 3:32 -
Folder 112Z9MRD created at 3:32 contained 2704 images - 7296 to 9999 - from 3:32 to 6:55 - Nikon created a new folder at image 9999
Folder 113Z9MRD created at 6:55 contained 1297 images - 0001 to 1297 - from 6:55 to 8:08 - card full - overflow directed to slot 2
The problem is that I have images 7296 to 7517, 222 images, in folder 111 and 112, different images but the same file name. My Z9 created a new folder at 3:32 but somehow set the file number back to 7296. It does not appear that I have any corrupt images, both sets of 222 images are fine but different images.
Has anyone else seen this issue? Do you think it is worth reporting to Nikon as a possible bug?
