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. Refer to Navigating Through Menus with the KBD5000 Keyboard on page 4 and Navigating Through Menus with a PC Keyboard and Mouse on page 6 for alternate keystrokes if you are using either 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.
