USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COMPUTER
Saving an HTML File
•When transferring CompactFlash card contents to a hard disk, floppy diskette, MO disk, or other external storage, keep everything in the QVIMG01 folder together. Changing the name of the QVIMG01 folder to a date is a good way to keep track of your images. However, note that you should never delete or modify the QVS file in any way.
•Before using the CompactFlash card again (after storing its images on other media), delete all its current files or refor- mat the card.
