Saving an image
To save an image to a CF card from the REC menu, follow the procedure described below.
1) Choose “1shot” if you want to save only one image sheet. Choose “Continue” to save
multiple image sheets 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 CF , the image will be saved to a CF card. If you did not change the destination in
step 2, the image will be saved using the directory name, file name, file format, and
compression rate that have been set in File Settings. Refer to File Settings (“1.4.2 Image
File SettingsFile Settings” in Chapter VI) for details on the format of the saved image.
Interval photography
Interval photography refers to when an image is photographed successively at specified time
intervals. To perform interval photography, 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 an interval time, ranging 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 CF , and interval photography will start, with images saved to an CF card.
5) Press Stop to stop photographing in the middle.
Depending on the length of time required for writing to a CF card, the DS-L1 may not be able to
