Recording Images in
Memory
— Image memory Menu
When you click in the Administrator
menu, the Image memory menu appears.
By using the image memory function, you can record an
image and audio file (shot being linked with the external
sensor input or built-in detection functions) in the built-
in memory (approx. 8 MB), or in a CF memory card (not
supplied applicable for SNC-CH240/CH140/CH180/
CH280 only) inserted in the camera. The image file can
also be recorded periodically.
The recorded image and audio files can be found or
downloaded to the computer using the FTP server
function. (See “Downloading Images from the Camera
— FTP server Menu” on page 83.)
The Image memory menu consists of three tabs:
Common, Alarm recording and Periodical recording.
For details on usable memory cards, contact your
authorized Sony dealer.
Notes
The image and audio files recorded in the built-in
memory are deleted when the power of the camera is
turned off, or the Selected root directory setting is
changed.
The frame rate and operability on the main viewer
may be reduced during image storage.
Set Image memory recording function to Off when
you remove the CF memory card from the camera or
turn off the power of the camera with a CF memory
card inserted.
When ever you remove or insert a card, wait at least
10 seconds.
Before using a CF memory card, format it using the
computer, or by Format CF memory card in the
Initialize tab of the System menu (page 38).
