General

With a new CF card (or a newly formatted CF card) ins erted or with an Imageba nk, a
new folder (called a batch) is created automatically aer the first image has been captured.
More batches can be created whenever you choo se and named for easier sort ing. You
should name them straight away though as they can only be changed later on (if required)
when they have been transfered.

Organizing your work with batches

Batches help you to organize your shots as you work. ey function just l ike folders on
a computer. Batches have the following properties:
• When you create a new batch, you can assign a name to it.
• When you copy images from a compact-flash card, each batch is saved as a sub-
folder on the destination disk.
• When deleting multiple images, you are able to restrict your delete command so
that it affects just a single batch.
• When browsing images, you will only see images from the current batch.
• You can change between batches by using the navigation controls of the digital
back front panel.
• The OLED shows the date on which each batch was created.
Please note that each new image will be saved in the latest created batch only. You
cannot select any other batch to save a new image in.

Navigating media and batches

e camera always works with a current medium and a current batch. is is the location
at which the camera wil l save all new shots and the lo cation in which you can browse
using the navigator button on the front panel. ere are two ways of selecting the current
medium and/or batch:
• Using the zoom and navigator buttons of the front panel. This method e nables
you to select any existing batch and is therefore useful even when only one type
of medium is attached. This method is explained in the procedure below.
• Using the MAIN MENU > Storage entry of the menu system to choose a medium.
This is only relevant when more than one medium is attached (e.g., both a compact
flash card and an Imagebank). When you use this function, you will always go to
the most recently created batch from the medium you select. Please see Selecting
the Current Storage Medium for a complete description of this method.
