Olympus' description of the file name options is pretty confusing but I
would suggest that the "auto" mode should allow continuous numbering
even if the new card is empty. I know it doesn't say that but as I read
it that's what would be required to differentiate it from the "reset"
option.
Both my Mynolta and Canyon have a continuous numbering option and I
would be mightily surprised if Oly doesn't have it too.
ps: I never allow the computer to write to a CF card as in allowing it
to delete images. Clearing old images is always done by formatting in
the camera.
