Naming Your Camera

Use the Camera Name submenu to enter a unique name for your camera. The camera name is used to identify images in the Review mode when you have transmitted images from one camera to another. (See “Transmitting Images Between Two Cameras” on page 48 for more information.) The default camera name is Digita Camera.

For example, if you transmit images from camera B to camera A, camera B’s name appears in the image information area of the Review mode screen on camera A when any images from camera B are viewed on camera A. The camera name does not appear in the image information area when you view images in Review mode on the camera you used to capture them.
