New EOS R7 numbering makes no sense

[TimmyLee]

I just started shooting with my new R7 today and cannot figure out where the image numbers are coming from... they did not start with 0001 as I thought they would..  they started somewhere around 1M4A7950 and it makes no sense to me at all.  I do not like this numbering system...  I need it to start at 0001 and it would be ideal and I don't understand why we cannot code them ourselves to the event, like SCCA0001  I'm still looking for help and understanding.

If you copy an image to the empty card and change the file name to end in 0001 it might start at 0002. That works with my 1D X.
