Notes on transferring multiple frame memory files together to a
memory card
• Transferring all of the files within frame memory together fails if the
capacity of the memory card is too small to hold all of the images. In this
case, replace with a larger capacity memory card, or delete files until saving
is possible.
The following table roughly shows the relation between memory card
capacity and number of files that can be saved.
Note that when transferring to the hard disk, there is ample capacity, so that
problems such as this do not occur.
• If you cancel the operation during a data transfer between frame memory and
hard disk or memory card, then an image which was not completely
transferred will not be reproducible. Avoid canceling such operations.
• When loading a file from hard disk or memory card, if [Freeze Enable] in the
Freeze menu is on, the loaded file may sometimes be overwritten by the
frame memory input image.
To avoid this when loading a file, ensure that [Freeze Enable] is turned off.
Importing or exporting files to or from frame memory
Import:
Import a file in a different format from hard disk or memory card into
frame memory after changing its format.
Export:
Export a file in a register to hard disk or memory card after changing
its format.
You can import TIFF, BMP, and TARGA files as follows into frame memory.
