Copying images from a card

Usually, you will copy images from a card by connecting the

camera to a computer and using FlexColor. However, you might

also want to load images from a card to a portable FireWire hard

disk or ImageBank-CF, allowing you to erase the card and keep

shooting even when you do not have a computer with you.

 You cannot copy images to a card.

Aer the copy, the destination disk will have a folder named

CARDXXX, where XXX is a number that increments with each

new copy operation (e.g., CARD001 for the ﬁrst copy, CARD002

for the next, etc.). Previous copies are therefore never overwritten

(provided you have fewer than 1000 folders of them). Within each

CARD folder is a sub-folder for each batch. You cannot use the

sensor unit to browse images copied in this way; you must connect

the disk to a computer to browse the copied folders. is operation

does not delete the copied images from the card—you must do this

manually if you want to free card space aer the copy.

To copy images from the compact-ﬂash card to external media.

1. Use a FireWire cable to connect the external media to your

sensor unit (see also Shooting ).

Select MAIN MENU > SETTINGS > STORAGE > Copy. (See

also Navigating the Menu System for details about how to

ﬁnd this setting.)

3. Press  to open the Copy Images dialog.

4. If you have only one disk attached, then skip this step.

If you have more than one disk attached, then press  to

select the From card to entry. Then use the (+) and (-) but-

tons to select the name of the medium you want to copy to.

Finally, press  to go back to the Are you sure? entry.

5. With the Are you sure? entry selected, you must now conﬁrm

the operation.

• To conﬁrm, press the (+) button to change the status to Yes

and then press the approve (OK) button to execute the copy.

• To cancel, press the menu (EXIT) button to exit; or press the

(-) button to set the status to No and then press the approve

(OK) button to cancel.

If you chose to conﬁrm, then sensor unit now tracks the

progress of the copy operation, which can take a few min-

utes. You can stop the copy at any time by pressing and hold-

ing the menu (STOP) button.

6. You now return to the STORAGE menu. Either move on to

another setting by using the navigator button or press the

menu (EXIT) button to exit the menu system.
