8.7 Saving Settings in a Configuration File
You can save a configuration file (i.e., a backup of the camera's settings) on your PC and restore the settings
later if desired (see Page 183).
1.
Click the [Maintenance] tab.
2.
On the left side of the screen under [Maintenance], click [Save Settings].
3.
Click [Save]. A dialog prompts you to specify a location to save the configuration file.
4.
Specify a location to save the file, then click [Save].
Note
•
The saved configuration file contains user names, passwords, and other private information. You are
responsible for storing the configuration file in a safe place where it cannot be retrieved by unauthorized
parties.
•
You can also use the Setup Program to save a configuration file (see Page 202).
•
Buffered images are not saved in the configuration file.
•
The configuration file's extension (.dat) must not be changed. If you change it, the saved settings cannot
be restored.
•
If you save a configuration file and then update the camera's firmware later, the configuration file may
not be able to be restored properly. If you regularly save a configuration file of the camera's settings,
remember to save a configuration file after you update the camera's firmware.
