Photographing Images

(6) Saving the image

Use (Capt. button) or the CAPTURE button on the DS-L1 to save the image.

(Capt. button) and the CAPTURE button on the DS-L1 are functionally the same. The image

is saved to the destination that has been assigned to the button. You can also use these buttons to print the image. Look at the LED located by the side of the CAPTURE button on the main unit to confirm the destination to which the image will be saved.

NOTE: The CAPTURE button can be assigned any function by Capture Function on Additional Settings, whether it be saving to a CF card, saving to an FTP server, or outputting directly to a printer. Refer to “1.4.1 Date and Power-save Settings－Additional Settings” in Chapter VI for details.

The image is saved in accordance with the File Settings with regard to the directory name, file name, file format, and compression rate.

Refer to File Settings (“1.4.2 Image File Settings－File Settings” in Chapter VI) for details on the format in which images are saved.

You also can save or print images from a shortcut menu or the REC menu. Refer to “2.2.1 Saving an Image to a CF Card－REC Menu” or “4.6.3 Saving Image Files in the FTP Server” in Chapter VI for details on how to use the REC menu.
