Capturing a Snapshot (Still Image)
All snapshots are saved in a default folder called images which is created automatically on a USB device. You must attach a USB device to the
DVR5100 before you start to capture a snapshot. If a USB device is not attached to the unit when you start to capture the snapshot, an error mes-
sage appears and the snapshot is not saved.
NOTE: The instructions in this manual refer to the DVR5100 Control Pad. An optional KBD5000 keyboard or U SB PC keyboard and mouse also can
be used to operate the DVR5100 instead of the Control Pad. Refer to Understanding DVR Controls and Menus on page 13 for alternate keystrokes
if you any of these devices.
To capture a snapshot:
1. Attach a USB device to the unit in any of the USB ports.
2. While in live view mode, select a video pane that is displaying video from which you want to capture a snapshot. The video pane border is
green. You can also capture a snapshot while you are viewing recorded video.
3. Press the blue function key to display the Quick Export screen.

5. Select Cancel to close the Quick Expo rt screen.
As an alternative, you can use the Search/Export menu from the main menu to capture a snapshot. On the Search/Export menu, select Snapshot.
The caption under the Snapshot icon on the menu is updated to show the number of snapshots that you have taken. (Figure77.)
