The numbers seem to repeat after reaching 9999 ... or am I mistaken?
The numbers appear to repeat, but if you examine the card by placing
it in a reader on your desktop you will see that it contains a folder
with a 3-digit number on it. It takes a long time to shoot the first
folder full, and if you don't reset the counter every time you
replace the card, and instead allow the camera to create filenames
incrementally starting at 0001 you will notice that the folder on the
card has changed its name from 100 to 200.
So actually shot number 9999 is something like 19,999 and the next
shot is 20,000.
I once understood that my Canon shutters could handle something like
300,000 actuations over their lifetime. I've never been able to beat
the salt water I shoot in to get anywhere near that.
