device, converted to a different format, and then saved.

Notes on transferring frame memory files in
batch to a removable drive
• Transferring all of the files within frame memory in
batch fails if the capacity of the removable drive is too
small to hold the combined contents.
In this case, replace the storage device with a larger
capacity removable drive, or delete files on the drive
until saving is possible.
The following table is a guide between removable drive
capacity and number of files that can be saved.
