The last few photos on my phone have gone over the 9999 count.
There aren't that many photos, just the count keeps going incrementally and carried on from phone to phone.

On windows, they seem to have changed to a date-month folder format, and windows only lists up to IMG_9999 in the current month for browsing.
Where is IMG_10000?
I can see the later photos on the phone, so know they are there, but how do I copy them off?
 
It might be an alphabetical file sorting logic issue, where Explorer does something like this:

IMG_0999
IMG_10000
IMG_1000


Or this:

IMG_1099
IMG_10000
IMG_1100

You're half right, it is sorted, but the iphone used 0000 for 10000, so they are at the start. Guess apple have an issue with more than 4 digits.
