USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COMPUTER

•The index screen uses the contents of the Preview Folder (page E-104). Images copied from another digital camera or a computer may not have preview images, and so they do not appear in the index screen. If this happens, scroll through the images on the monitor screen until the copied images appear. At this time, the camera automatically generates a pre- view image, which will now appear on the Card Browser index screen.

•Turning on Card Browser causes an HTML file to be gener- ated whenever you turn off camera power.

•Selecting “Off” in step 3 of the above procedure turns off Card Browser.

•Creation of an HTML file causes an INDEX.HTM file and other files to be added to the DCIM folder.

IMPORTANT!

•Though the camera’s monitor screen goes blank when you turn off power, the operation lamp continues to flash for some time as the camera internally generates a Card Browser file (when Card Browser is turned on). Performing any of the operations while the operation lamp is flashing not only stops generation of the Card Browser file, it can also result in corruption of the im- age data on the CompactFlash Card.

Note that a Card Browser file may be corrupted if bat- teries are low or if the CompactFlash Card becomes full during file generation.

•If the CompactFlash card in the camera has a large number of files on it, it may take quite a bit of time for the camera to generate the required HTML files and actually turn off after you slide the POWER switch to- wards OFF.

Because of this, we recommend that you normally leave Card Browser turned off, except when you actu- ally want to generate HTML files.

•This camera generates a Card Browser file whenever you turn off power. When the card in the camera con- tains a large number of files, it may take some time for the file generation operation to be performed. You can turn off the Card Browser feature if you do not want a file generated each time you turn off camera power.

•If you perform a timer operation while Card Browser is turned on, files are not generated until the number of shots specified for the timer's SHOTS setting are re- corded. If you want to generate files for images re- corded by a timer operation that is not yet complete, turn the camera off, wait for the files to be generated, and then turn the camera back on again. Note, how- ever, that this also cancels the ongoing timer opera- tion.
