Nikon D50, how to renumber pics

I have searched the manual and cant find an answer to this......

If I take say 50 pictures and download to PC into a folder the pics will be
numbered 1 to 50.

I then delete from the camera and take another 50 and these also will be
numbered 1 to 50, so if I download into the same folder they would replace
the original 50 as they have the same numbers.

Is there a way to continue the numbering sequence so that the 2nd lot would
be 51 to 100 and even if I delete them any pics taken after that would be
101 +

I hope this makes sense.

thanks

I've only had my D50 a week (and it's my first!) but I seem to recall a
setting in the camera to sequentially number images. Also I just installed
Picture Project today and think there's an option to rename.renumber in the
program, under toolsoptionsrename during import and also an option in
Import.

Assuming the menu is similar to the d70s which I use, there should be a
"setup" menu with a spanner icon, and there should be a "file no seq"
submenu. The default seems to to be "off" which is a bit silly as I can see
no point in increasing the risk of duplicate file names! You want to change
this to "on" which should solve the problem.

Ok I think I have it changed to on now....thanks

Thanks ED I have got it sorted but have to say I dont find the manual very
user friendly, mind you I am probably the problem being mid 50s and losing a
bit of the brain power these days, easily confused, just takes me a bit
longer to get there ........................now dont get me started on
DVD/video, does my nut in!

But thanks again for your help.

You aren't so old. I am old enough to be your father, and I found out how
to do this without help.
