Selecting a Device for Operation

To carry out file operations, you need to specify the
register, local drive, removable drive, or other storage
device as the location of the data or file. You can also
specify a directory.
If NFS (Network File System) is enabled in the Setup
menu, you can add [Network] to the device for operations.
For details about NFS, see "Configuring the NFS Server"
(page 390).
Notes
• There is a risk that files saved on the local drive may
become unusable if the local drive experiences trouble.
Always keep separate backup copies of important files
on a removable drive.
• Format a commercially available removable drive before
using it for the first time (see page 405).

Saving Files

This section describes saving snapshot register data to a
removable drive as an example.

enabled (see page 478).

confirmation message appears. Select [Yes] to
overwrite the existing data.
Saving frame memory files
Note
When the signal format is 1080P, saving a still image file
creates two still image files for each frame. An 'A' is
automatically appended to the first file name, and a 'B' is
appended to the second file name. If either of these files is
missing, it is not possible to recreate the image, and
therefore for correct operation the two files must always be
handled together.
