Saving an image
To save an image to the FTP server from the REC menu, follow the procedure described below.
1) Choose “1shot” if you want to save only one sheet image. Choose “Continue” to save
multiple sheets of images at given intervals.
2) Change the destination or file name to or in which to save, as necessary. If you want to
save a log, enter a comment in LOG.
3) Press FTP , and the image will be saved to the FTP server. If you did not change the
destination in step 2, the image will be saved using the same folder name, file name, file
format, and compression rate that were set in File Settings. Refer to File Settings (“1.4.2
Image File Settings” in Chapter VI) for details on the format of the saved image. Also,
refer to the preceding sections for details about the recommended examples for file names,
etc.
Interval photography
Interval photographing refers to photographing an image successively at specified time intervals.
To perform interval photographing, follow the procedure described below. We recommended
selecting Auto for the file name in File Settings, so that files will be named after the
photographed date and time.
1) Press 1shot to change to Continue . The Cnt. and Int. icons will be displayed.
2) In Cnt, set the number of frames to be photographed. Up to 500 frames can be set. If
“Endless” is selected in Cnt. as the number of frames, an image will be photographed
successively.
3) In Int., set a photography interval time. It can be set anywhere from 10 seconds to 6
hours. Choose the desired interval time from the following:
10s /15s /20s/30s /45s / 60s / 1m30s / 2m / 3m / 4m/ 5m / 6m / 10m / 15m / 20m / 30m /
45m / 60m / 1h30m / 2h / 3h / 4h / 5h / 6h
4) Press FTP , and interval photography will start, with images saved to the FTP server.
5) Press Stop to stop photography in the middle.
Depending on the length of time required for network transfers, the DS-L1 may not be able to
save images at specified time intervals. Prior confirmation will be necessary before you use
interval photography.
