File naming during Lightroom Classic Tethered Capture

My suggestion-

Instead of using {Sequence} in the File-Naming, use {File Number Suffix}.

This would then use the Camera File Number that would never conflict (until you exceed 9999 images!)

It seems that {Sequence} is always restarting from -01, and your second set of images (taken about 6 minutes after the first) is resulting in the '-2' files.  I also suspect that the Tether is re-connecting to restart the {Sequence}for an unknown reason.

Please repost your screen shot: it does not appear to be showing in the forum.

Hi there,

Would you mind checking if there are other images in the folder with the same name already to which Lightroom is saving the images from the tethered shoot? If yes, then the second image with the same name would automatically get the suffix -2.

You can check the settings you can use for naming the images during a tethered shoot in the link below.
