79Thumbnail select mode / Uploading ImagesOperating the WT-4 for ComputerThumbnail select modeWhen shots are taken by selecting [Thumbnail select mode] in [Mode], the recorded images are stored to both the camera’s memory card and WT-4 internal memory. At the same time, thumbnails (reduced images) of images stored to WT-4 internal memory are uploaded to the computer and the supplied Thumbnail Selector software lists them as previews. The computer operator then selects required images from this list of thumbnail previews for uploading.Example of Thumbnail Select ModeMultiple cameramen using cameras connected to a wireless network by way of the WT-4 are shooting images at a soccer game from various angles. Thumbnails of these recorded images are sent to a computer and are displayed in real-time using the Thumbnail Selector software (displays images recorded by a maximum of five cameras simultaneously). The computer operator selects shots from the displayed thumbnails and downloads them to the computer.DUMMY$00_WT-4_En.book Page 79 Friday, August 10, 2007 2:02 PM
80Thumbnail select mode / Uploading ImagesOperating the WT-4 for ComputerPrincipal Features of Thumbnail SelectorThe principal features of Thumbnail Selector are as follows:•Displays only a list of thumbnail previews (reduced images) saved to WT-4 internal memory. This function allows the user to immediately check the images, regardless of size of the original images.•Required images can be selected while viewing the displayed thumbnails and downloaded to computer.•If multiple cameras are connected to the wireless network, images from a maximum of five cameras can be displayed simultaneously. These images can also be downloaded.See the online help for the Thumbnail Selector for details on how to use the Thumbnail Selector.AInternal Memory•The WT-4 has an internal memory capacity of 1GB where the most recent images are stored. When the memory capacity is exceeded, images are successively overwritten starting from older images. •Even if the camera's memory card is replaced, the images stored to WT-4 internal memory will be the same as those images stored in the camera's former memory card. Therefore, if there is no more free space in a memory card, you can replace the memory card without worrying whether or not you have transferred all required images to computer. •To delete images from internal memory, initialize the internal memory (pg.173). Initializing the internal memory will delete all images stored to internal memory. •If a large number of shots are taken through continuous shooting, some time may be required until the images are stored to WT-4 internal memory. After shooting, select [Wireless transmitter] in the Setup Menu to confirm the number of shots which have not yet been stored to internal memory. •While images are being stored to WT-4 internal memory, the camera's access indicator will light. While the memory card access lamp is lit, do not remove the camera or WT-4 batteries, the AC adapter, or USB cable. Doing so may cause the internal memory to malfunction. If the WT-4 power switch is operated while images are being stored to WT-4 internal memory, the power will turn Off after all images have been stored.$00_WT-4_En.book Page 80 Friday, August 10, 2007 2:02 PM
