White balance

Use this entry to set the white balance saved with the image and applied to the preview.

Media

The storage setting controls where your digital back will store new images and which stored images will be visible in the browse window.

Often, you have just one type of storage media available—the internal compact-flash card. However, if you have several media attached (e.g., a card and one or more external disks), then you may need to switch between them.

If your selected storage medium has more than one batch (folder) on it, then the batch selected when you use the storage menu entry will be the one you most recently created.

To select the medium to which to save new shots and from which to browse previous shots:

1.Press the MENU button.

2.Use and to select the MEDIA sub-menu.

3.Use the or button to step through the available media until the name for destination/source you wish to use is shown.

4.Press the MENU button to exit the menu system and keep your setting.

Note that you can also select media using just the (+) and (-) buttons while browsing images. This method also enables you to select a batch as you zoom in from media to batch to thumbnails to preview. See Navigating Media and Batches for complete details about this method.
