Transferring Images
Transferring to a computer
To transfer images stored on the compact-flash card to your computer, simply connect
the camera to a computer using a FireWire cable and then run FlexColor, which will
automate the process. See your FlexColor manual for details.
See also Connecting to the Computer for details about how to connect to a computer.
Another way to transfer images to your computer is to remove the compact-flash card
from the sensor unit and insert it into a compact-flash card reader connected to a com-
puter. See Using Compact Flash Memory Cards for details about how to remove and
insert the card.
Images that you have stored on an ImageBank-CF or FireWire hard disk can also be
transferred to a computer by connected the external disk to the computer with a FireWire
cable and then copying the files using the file system. See your ImageBank-CF or hard
disk documentation for details.
Transferring to an external hard disk or ImageBank-CF
e H2D enables you to work in the field, shooting to the internal card, and then transfer
images to an external hard disk even if you do not have a computer with you. In this way,
you can combine the total flexibility of shooting without any external connections with
the massive storage capacity of an external hard disk.
When the internal card gets full, just connect the camera to a FireWire hard disk or
ImageBank-CF, transfer the images, clear the card and return to shooting. e process
is nearly as fast
1. Use a FireWire cable to connect the sensor unit to the external disk and turn both
units on.
2. On the sensor unit, open the menu and select MAIN MENU > STORAGE > Copy.
See also Copying Images from a Card for a detailed description of how to use the
menu system to do this.
3. All batches from the internal card are then copied to the external disk. A new folder
is created for each copy, so you will never overwrite previous copies, even if they con-
tain identical images.
Images are not automatically deleted from the card aer copying. If you want to delete
some or all images to free up some space, then use MAIN MENU > STORAGE > Delete.
