6.2.13 Editing a Stored Cine File
As mentioned earlier in this file, many recorded cine files contain a lot of unnecessary information
both before and after the actual motion of interest. The Edit/Save Display allows you to edit
unnecessary images from the beginning and the end of the recorded image data presently stored in
the camera's DRAM buffer prior to saving the cine. Editing the cine will create smaller files, reduces
file save times, and make cine playbacks more interesting.
