DSC00001.jpg – Guess what people take a picture of first

by Patrick Altoft on August 16, 2007

Most cameras use the DSC numbering system, starting with the first ever photo at DSC00001.

Lets see what people take photos of as soon as they unwrap their shiny new camera.

DSC00001.jpg your first picture

As you can see the results are quite interesting. What do you think? What do you take a picture of first?

Mark 16 Aug 2007 at 3:52 pm: Well that is true and not true. When you delete all of the images on the cam they start over at DSC00001. So these could be the images that are first taken after clearing off the cam. DSC00100.jpg Might be more interesting.
Cristian Mezei 16 Aug 2007 at 3:57 pm: All I can say is LOOOOL
Patrick Altoft 16 Aug 2007 at 4:30 pm: Mark, on my camera it doesn’t reset to 00001. If it did then you would be overwriting your photos if you put them in the same folder.

Maybe it depends on the camera….

Paquito 16 Aug 2007 at 5:08 pm: I can’t stop laughing!

This is one of the best discoveries I made this year, hahahahaha…

It remembers me some P2P where people start sharing “My Documents” folder @ Work and then you can access to Internal Memos and Stuff like that…

You think it’s not true… Try it and be amazed

Regards from Spain,

Dee 16 Aug 2007 at 7:27 pm: That’s so interesting and so very funny! I’ve taken more than 6800 pics in a matter of a year. I can’t seem to find my first pic though.
Greebus 16 Aug 2007 at 8:00 pm: See Perez Hilton nude! He did some naked photographs for a gay cruising website before he was famous, his penis is surprisingly small. See them now at http://www.veryvulgar.com (before they are removed) or just click my name!!
j 16 Aug 2007 at 8:32 pm: your camera can reset back to 00001 if you wanted it to. there’s a setting. but different cameras function differently.
Keith 16 Aug 2007 at 8:45 pm: I believe that most modern digital cameras have a setting for this. On my Canon it is an option called “File Numbering” which I can set to either “continuous” or “auto reset”.
Jason 16 Aug 2007 at 8:53 pm: I’ve got a Canon 400D. On that you can specify in the options if you want it to reset back to 000001 if the card is wiped clean.
Pieter 16 Aug 2007 at 8:58 pm: The most uninteresting photos in the entire universe and beyond. For dragging me here may you get crabs in your eyebrows…..
Peter Johnson 16 Aug 2007 at 9:07 pm: It doesn’t depend on the camera: the numbering never resets.
Sam 16 Aug 2007 at 9:12 pm: Is this the reason why people buy digital camera?
Chuck 16 Aug 2007 at 9:13 pm: Kudos to whoever thought of this. What a great topic! How much you want to bet this becomes a website topic? Very funny!
Noah 16 Aug 2007 at 9:18 pm: Also, IMG00001.jpg for other cameras.

Love!
tom 16 Aug 2007 at 9:27 pm: There’s a setting on all cameras to either carry on counting or to reset counting.
John 16 Aug 2007 at 9:28 pm: Most cameras I’ve used do not reset to 01 automatically. You have to manually reset it using a buried menu command.

Excellent post…this is like how you can find unsecured IP webcams by googling the device’s default URI.
John 16 Aug 2007 at 9:31 pm: It should be standard practice that everyone takes pictures of tits as their inaugural photograph with a new camera.
Psylight 16 Aug 2007 at 9:38 pm: Not too surprising. I imagine Google is doing something like PageRank here. All these results mean is that the most popular DSC00001.jpg files happen to be pornographic. If you randomly browse a few pages in, the photos tend to get much more mundane.
Jeff 16 Aug 2007 at 9:45 pm: It’s pretty obvious the porn ones are fake named just for this purpose. If you change the 1 to a 2 there’s no porn going on.
Aaron 16 Aug 2007 at 9:52 pm: Most cameras by default to not go back to 1. It’s a setting that you have to force it into when you format your card.
Ozh 16 Aug 2007 at 10:36 pm: Old post from Engadget about this and all other camera brands:
Carl Coddingon 17 Aug 2007 at 6:14 pm: Wow! it’s funny that you are getting all these disagreeable comments. But, hey, you’re getting comments
kintamanate 18 Aug 2007 at 4:40 pm: On my Sony DSC-P92 after the 09999th picture it reset to 000001. I don’t know why it didn’t continue to 100000 and then up to 99999 pictures, it just reset the counter from 9999. Perhaps this changed in later models.

About overwriting pictures, that’s easy – don’t put all 9999 pictures in the same folder. I make folders based on the date the pictures were taken.
kintamanate 18 Aug 2007 at 4:44 pm: I don’t remember where I picked this list up from but these are for other camera’s too.

“dcp0″ // Kodak
“dsc0″ // Nikon
“dscn” // Nikon
“mvc-” //Sony Mavica 1
“mvc0″ //Sony Mavica
“P101″ // Olympus? First 3 are dates, work on this…
“P” //PMDD where M is hex
“IMG_” // Canon
“imag” // RCA and Samsung
“1″ // Canon 1TH-TH## thousands, hundreds
“dscf” // Fuji Finepix
“pdrm” // Toshiba PDR
“IM00″ // HP Photosmart
“EX00″ // HP Photosmart timelapse?
“dc” // Kodak dc-40,50,120 dc####(l|m|s)
“pict” // Minolta Dimage pict####.jpg
“P00″ //Kodak DC290 p#######.jpg
Casio QV3000 – mmdd####.jpg
Ian Pitts 18 Aug 2007 at 4:51 pm: Here’s the same thing for Canon
Philip 18 Aug 2007 at 6:20 pm: Picture 2 on the whole was not nearly as interesting. I guess the excitement had worn off.
Andy 18 Aug 2007 at 6:59 pm: Well, Canon owners obviously aren’t such a bunch of pervs. Googling for IMG_0001.jpg will show the difference!
GumPhlaper 18 Aug 2007 at 10:49 pm: I’m just glad to see I’m not the only one to have done this search.
Silveira Neto 18 Aug 2007 at 10:50 pm: Whooow! What a great idea!
Allan 19 Aug 2007 at 1:10 am: the first page was funny, after that its pretty normal
Paul 19 Aug 2007 at 5:55 am: People are sick. Yet, at the same time, hilarious

You would think some people would try their camera out on something more normal at first.
sub corpus 19 Aug 2007 at 6:09 am: my first pic of the camera is always of the sales girl …
hehe …
you know why … hehe …
rahul 19 Aug 2007 at 11:16 am: really funny ,I will take care of clicking my DSC001.JPG in future after reading this,LoL
Willi 21 Aug 2007 at 10:54 am: great idea! really funny!
jeka911 08 Jul 2008 at 6:26 pm: Almost same for second, btw:
