Nikon 800 number

Is there a way to have the D800 camera to keep numbering. When I put in a blank card it starts back to number 001.

"Menu"-> "Custom Setting Menu"-> "D-Shooting
Display"-> "d7 File Numbering Sequence". Select "On", Off", or Reset as
above.

On
When a new folder is created, the memory card formatted, or a
new memory card inserted in the camera, file numbering
continues from the last number used or from the largest file
number in the current folder, whichever is higher. If a
photograph is taken when the current folder contains a
photograph numbered 9999, a new folder will be created
automatically and file numbering will begin again from 0001.


Off
File numbering is reset to 0001 when a new folder is created,
the memory card is formatted, or a new memory card is
inserted in the camera. Note that a new folder is created
automatically if a photograph is taken when the current folder
contains 999 photographs.

Reset
As for On, except that the next photograph taken is assigned a
file number by adding one to the largest file number in the
current folder. If the folder is empty, file numbering is reset to
0001.

Hope this is it. I have a D810 (hopefully it's the same in the D800). Go to menu> custom setting menu> shooting/display> file number number sequence (d6). This should be "on". Options are on, off, and reset. Sounds like you have it in reset. Bev
