COPY

Usually, you will copy images from a card by connecting the cam- era to a computer and using FlexColor. However, you might also want to load images from a card to a portable FireWire hard disk or Imagebank, allowing you to erase the card and keep shooting even when you do not have a computer with you.

After the copy, the destination disk will have a folder named CARDXXX, where XXX is a number that increments with each new copy operation (e.g., CARD001 for the first copy, CARD002 for the next, etc.). Previous copies are therefore never overwritten (provided you have fewer than 1000 folders of them). Within each CARD folder is a sub-folder for each batch. You cannot use the digital back to browse images copied in this way; you must connect the disk to a computer to browse the copied folders. This operation does not delete the copied images from the card—you must do this manually if you want to free card space after the copy.

To copy images from the compact-flash card to external media, use a FireWire cable to connect the external media to the CFV and then.
