5 Click the “RAM” radio button or “RAM+ROM” radio button to select the type of memory in which the data will be saved. (Fig.13) If “RAM” is selected, the image data is saved only in the frame memory and so it cannot be used after the AW-SW350 power has been turned off and back on again. If “RAM+ROM” is selected, the image data is saved in the flash memory and so it can be used after the AW-SW350 power has been turned off and back on again. However, the actual transfer takes longer than when “RAM” is selected.
