OK Mark, Bearing in mind I always bullshit best when not hampered by any knowledge of the facts :)
Perhaps it has to do with the image numbering rational: - presumably the camera automatically assigns sequentially increasing image numbers and previously didn't care if they were RAW or JPG eg img00001.cr2, img00002.jpg, img00003.jpg, img00004.cr2 etc - when you choose to shoot simultaneous RAW & JPG, does it change to giving each version of the shot the same number (but different extension) eg _mg000001.cr2 & _mg000001.jpg then _mg000002.cr2 & _mg000002.jpg in which case it would maybe start a new numbering system and add the extra digit to distinguish from the previous image numbers. (Just trying to think like a dumb camera!) Of course, I could be hypothesising through my fundamental orifice! Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
