General

Whichever way you choose to store your images, they should be led in batches for ef-

cient workow.

Organizing your work with batches

Batches help you to organize your shots as you work. ey function exactly as folders on

a computer. Batches have the following properties:

Navigating media and batches

which the camera will save all new shots and the location in which you can browse us-

ing the navigator button on the front panel. ere are two ways of selecting the current

medium and/or batch:

 • Usingthezoomandnavigatorbuttonsonthefrontpanel.Thismethodenables

you to select any existing batch and is therefore useful even when only one type

of medium is attached. This method is explained in the procedure below.

 • ChooseMAIN MENU > Storage to select a medium. This is only relevant when more

than one medium is attached (e.g., both a compact ash card and an Imagebank).

When you use this function, you will always go to the most recently created batch

from the medium you select. Please see Selecting the Current Storage Medium

for a complete description of this method.
