Saving an image

To save an image to a CF card from the REC menu, follow the procedure described below.

1)Choose “1shot” if you want to save only one image sheet. Choose “Continue” to save multiple image sheets at given intervals.

2)Change the destination or file name to or in which to save, as necessary. If you want to save a log, enter a comment in LOG.

3)	Press	CF	, the image will be saved to a CF card. If you did not change the destination in
	step 2, the image will be saved using the directory name, file name, file format, and

compression rate that have been set in File Settings. Refer to File Settings (“1.4.2 Image File Settings－File Settings” in Chapter VI) for details on the format of the saved image.

Interval photography

Interval photography refers to when an image is photographed successively at specified time intervals. To perform interval photography, follow the procedure described below. We recommended selecting Auto for the file name in File Settings, so that files will be named after the photographed date and time.

1) Press 1shot to change to Continue . The Cnt. and Int. icons will be displayed.

2)In Cnt., set the number of frames to be photographed. Up to 500 frames can be set. If “Endless” is selected in Cnt. as the number of frames, an image will be photographed successively.

3)In Int., set an interval time, ranging from 10 seconds to 6 hours. Choose the desired interval time from the following:

10s /15s /20s/30s /45s / 60s / 1m30s / 2m / 3m / 4m/ 5m / 6m / 10m / 15m / 20m / 30m / 45m / 60m / 1h30m / 2h / 3h / 4h / 5h / 6h

4)	Press	CF	, and interval photography will start, with images saved to an CF card.
5)	Press
		Stop		to stop photographing in the middle.

Depending on the length of time required for writing to a CF card, the DS-L1 may not be able to save images at the specified time intervals. Prior confirmation will be necessary before you begin interval photography.

If images cannot be saved at specified intervals.
