Thumbnail Select Mode

Thumbnail Selector

Thumbnail Selector displays the images stored in the WT-4 as small thumbnail previews. Photographs from up to five cameras can be previewed instantly and selected for upload as desired. For more information, see the online help for Thumbnail Selector.

AInternal Memory

The WT-4 is equipped with 1 GB of internal memory. Only the most recent photographs are stored; if memory is full, the oldest photographs will be deleted as necessary to make room for new pictures. The photographs on the WT-4 are not affected when a new memory card is inserted in the camera, and memory cards can be freely exchanged without concern for whether the images they contain have been uploaded to the computer. Photographs can be deleted from the WT-4 by formatting internal memory as described on page 173. All photographs stored in internal memory will be deleted.

If a large number of photographs are taken in a single burst, some time may be required to copy the pictures to internal memory. The number of photographs remaining to be copied can be viewed by selecting [Wireless transmitter] in the setup menu after shooting.

The camera memory card access lamp will light while photographs are being copied to internal memory. To prevent damage to internal memory, do not remove the battery from the camera or WT-4 or disconnect the AC adapter or USB cable while the access lamp is lit. If the WT-4 is turned off while the access lamp is lit, the WT-4 will remain on until all pictures have been transferred to internal memory.
