Accessing Images from a PC 8-19
Creating Monochrome Images with Your Color
Camera Back
You may be able to use your application to create monochrome images
from color images taken with a color camera back. For one example refer
to chapter 11.
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS when Using the DCS
465 Camera Back with a PC
Do not open image archive files (files that you create by copying/
moving images to the PC hard disk) with image software and then
resave the data with the same filename. The image files you copied/
moved contain several parts — one section with a TIFF version of the
thumbnail, and then another section with the full image data. When
you open the file with an image editing application, only the TIFF
thumbnail may be opened, and if saved, only the thumbnail may be
saved — not the full image data. For this reason, you should only
open these files from within the driver image window using the
CHANGE FOLDER button as described just above; this will ensure that
you obtain the image data as well as the thumbnail.
Do not disconnect the DCS 465 Camera Back from the computer
while the computer is on.
When you copy or move images from a PCMCIA card to your hard
disk with the Copy to Folder or Move to Folder commands, the
calibration (CAL) file(s) associated with the camera back(s) used to
take the selected images is also copied to the folder with the images.
The calibration file(s) is needed subsequently to display and/or ac-
quire the images. For that reason it is very important that you do not
delete any CAL files you find in folders with your images.
