 Note that some shots may trigger the warning even though they are exposed accord-

ing to your intentions. You should consider these warnings only as a guideline.

3. If no problem is detected, then the image is saved with green status.

 If you set Approval to ‘Auto’, all images will be stored as Gre en if judged as correct

and Yellow if ju dged as tec hnically do ubtful. No images are ever s tored as Re d

automatically!

4. When you are browsing through your shots, keep an eye on the approval status of

each and consider whether you should promote or demote each shot based on its

appearance on the preview screen. You can also apply a browse ﬁlter to, for exam-

ple, browse only red shots when looking for images to delete or to browse only green

shots to make sure you have a good version of each shot that you need.

5. When you begin working with the images on your computer, use the approval sta-

tus as a guide for organizing your work. For example, you might begin by opening

and optimizing the green shots and then go to the yellow shots only if you still need

more images and then, ﬁnally, check the red shots as a last resort.

Note that the system is very ﬂexible so you can use it in any way that you like. For exam-

ple, you can set the camera to assign al l new images a yellow or green status regard less

of the exposure warning. Be carefu l when assigning red status because red ima ges may

be deleted if the current storage medium becomes full.

e current approval status of each shot is indicated in two ways:

• In mos t preview modes, the current status is indicated by a coloured dot in the

bottom-right corner of the screen.

• Each ima ge is given a name that indicates its approval status. Approved (green)

image names start with “A” (e.g., “A00000 43”); warning (yellow) image s start

with “B” (e.g., “B00000 43”); and images marked for dele te (red) start with “C”.

Because of this naming convention, you will also be able to sort your image ﬁles

by status after you have copied them to your computer (e.g., by listing the folder

by ﬁle name).

By keeping an eye on the ﬁle name a nd/or coloured dot as you browse your images at

the single-image, four-thumbnail or nine-thumbnail level, you can easily see the current

approval status of each of them.

To change the approval status of the currently displayed/selected image, simply press the

approval button until the desired approval status is shown.

 Note that you can set the camera to ﬁlter by approval status as you browse, which

means that some images may be hidden (though they are still there). See “Browsing

by Approval Status”, below, for details about how to work with the ﬁlter.

 Be careful when assigning red status because red images may be deleted if the current

storage medium becomes full.

You can set the camera to browse by approval s tatus, which means, for example, that

you will see only green-status ima ges as you browse a batch (or both green and yellow,

or only red, etc.). e current ﬁlter setting is indicated on-screen, as illustrated. Filtered

images are still there, but they will not be shown until you change the ﬁlter setting. Also,

if you change the status of an image, the image may ‘disappear’ if it no longer passes the

ﬁlter. For example, if you have set the camera t o browse only green-status images a nd
