defining the Range of images to save:
1)
Enter the number of the First Image in the sequence you want to save.
For example, the event begins at image number 72 in the cine file just recorded. By entering
72, all images recorded prior to image 72 will be discarded and will not be saved to this file.
2)
Enter the Image Count representing the total number of images to be saved in this cine file.
For example, if the event that begins at the image number 72 and ends at image 171, enter
100 to discard all images after 171.
