Oregon Scientific DS6618 user manual About the file counter file numbers

MODIFYING CAMERA SETTINGS, DELETING ALL IMAGES, FORMATTING, AND RESETTING THE FILE COUNTER

Camera settings can be checked and modified from your PC. You can also delete all the image files, format the camera memory and reset the file counter (file number).

Check that the camera is connected to a PC with the USB cable (/P.16).

The “Oregon Scientific Config” screen opens and you can perform tasks such as modifying the camera settings and deleting all the data in the camera’s memory.

h About the file counter (file numbers)

File numbers (No. 0001 to 9999) are automatically assigned to images when they are shot. The assigned file numbers are then saved with the images during downloading.

✽Because the file numbers assigned when shots are taken are stored on the camera, the file numbers of images do not change while they remain on the camera.

✽If you delete an image on the camera after shooting it, the file number of the deleted file is skipped.

✽When you reset the file counter, the file numbers for the next images shot begin again from “0001” . However, the file counter can only be reset when [Delete All Images] or [Format] is selected in the “Oregon Scientific Config” screen.

When the camera settings are modified in the “Oregon Scientific Config” screen, the settings on the camera are also switched automatically.

h Low Light Alert: When this feature is enabled, the camera warns the user that a scene is too dark for a proper picture. Under such dim lighting conditions, the camera will make an error beep when the shutter button is pressed. Keeping the shutter button pressed during and after the beep will force the snapshot, if desired, but the quality of the picture will most likely be sub-standard.

h Auto Shutoff timeout: User can select the auto shut-off timeout with short (~25 seconds) or long (~50 seconds). The factory default is short.
