• If you cancel the operation during a data transfer
between frame memory and the local drive or removable
drive, then any image which was not completely

drive, if [Freeze Enable] is enabled in the Frame
Memory >Still >Freeze/Store menu (2512), the loaded
file may be overwritten by the frame memory input
image.
To avoid this, disable [Freeze Enable] before loading
files.

About import image size
Pay attention to the following points, depending on the
signal format used.
SDTV (480i)
Images 720×487 pixels in size are images that will
perfectly fill the picture frame.
The following figure shows how an import image is
processed when the 480i/59.94 format is used.
Images are placed with the upper left of the frame as the
origin.
When an image is smaller than the frame, the remainder of
the screen is filled with black. When it is larger, parts
which extend beyond the frame are discarded.
