SELECT FOLDER

This option allows the selection of existing folders. In quick view or playback mode, only the images in the selected folder can be viewed or edited. In recording mode, the folder-name option in the cus- tom 1 section of the setup menu must be set to standard form in order to select the folder in which to place the subsequent recorded images.

Except for the all-frames-C setting in the custom 2 section of the playback-mode menu, changes made with menus only affect the images in the selected folder. To make changes to all images in multiple folders, each folder must be selected and the menu operation repeated for each folder.

Formatting a CompactFlash card in the basic section of the playback menu, erases all folders regard- less of whether they are selected or not.

NEW FOLDER

This allows the creation of new folders. The folder-name option in the custom 1 section of the setup menu must be set to standard form in order to use the new-folder function. When selected, the elec- tronic keyboard (p. 80) automatically appears so the folder name can be entered. Once the name is typed in and the enter button on the keyboard is highlighted and entered, the folder will be created and the name will be listed in the select-folder option.

Every folder name begins with a three digit index number. When the electronic keyboard activates, three digits will be displayed in the register. This number cannot be changed. Every time a new folder is created, the folder number will increase automatically by one greater than the highest folder num- ber on the CompactFlash card. A five-character folder name must be entered after the number; only capital letters, numbers, and the underbar can be used. To cancel the electronic-keyboard display without creating a new folder, press the menu button.
