Deleting images − general

Delete shortcut !

There is also a one-button short- cut for deleting single images. To use it, select a target image and then press and hold the  until the confirm-delete dialog opens.

A CF digital back enables you to delete images using any of the following techniques:

•Delete the currently selected image only.

•Delete all images from the current batch

•Delete all images from the current medium

•Delete all red-status images from the current batch

•Delete all red-status images from the current medium

•Delete all red- or yellow-status images from the current batch

•Delete all red- or yellow-status images from the current medium

Another way of working is to simply assign unwanted images as Red. In this way, you retain the option (for a while) of changing your mind later while allowing the system to automatically delete the unwanted images as the storage medium fills up.

You will always be asked to confirm each delete operation.

For complete details about how to use the menu system to delete single or multiple im- ages, please see MAIN MENU > STORAGE > Delete.

Transferring / Copying images − general

Transferring to a computer

To transfer images stored on the compact-flash card to your computer, simply connect the digital back 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 digital back 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.

A CF digital back can also function as a CF card reader for file transference. Select MAIN

MENU > SETTINGS> Misc > Interface > Disk.

Images that you have stored on an Imagebank 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 or hard disk documentation for details.

For complete details see MAIN MENU > STORAGE > Copy.

Transferring to an Imagebank

A CF digital back 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 Imagebank, transfer the images, clear the card and return to shooting.

Images are not automatically deleted from the card after copying. If you want to delete some or all images to free up some space, then use MAIN MENU > STORAGE > Delete.
