General
Whichever way you choose to store your images, they should be filed in batches for
efficient workflow.
Organizing your work with batches
Batches help you to organize your shots as you work. They function just like folders on a
computer. Batches have the following properties:
• When you create a new batch, you assign a name to it and it is created as a new
folder.
• When you copy images from a compact-flash card, each batch is saved as a sub-folder
on the destination disk.
• When deleting multiple images, you are able to restrict your delete command so that
it affects just a single batch.
• When browsing images, you will only see images from the current batch.
• You can change between batches by using the navigation controls on the digital
capture unit front panel.
• The batch name also shows the date on which it was created (using the Year/Month/
Day convention).

Please note that each new image will be saved in the latest created batch only.
You cannot select any other batch to save a new image in.

Navigating media and batches

The camera always works with a current medium and a current batch. This is the location
at which the camera will save all new shots and the location in which you can browse using
the navigator button. There are two ways of selecting the current medium and/or batch:
• Using the zoom and navigator buttons. 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.
• Using the MENU > Storage item on the menu system to choose a medium. This is
only relevant when more than one medium is attached (e.g., both a CF card and an
ImageBank-II). 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.
