Capturing A Live Image - Nikon DS-L4 Instructions Manual

6.5.1

Capturing a Live Image

You can capture the displayed image, and save it as an image file in a specified location.
1 Check the live image.
Check that the subject is displayed at the correct brightness
and with focus on the desired part.
2 In the LIVE menu, tap [CAPTURE].
The captured image is saved as an image file in the
specified storage location. For details on how to set the
storage location, refer to "8.2.3
destination media and save folder".
Using a mouse button to capture an image
By assigning the capture function to the mouse ([SETTINGS] > [DS SETUP] > [MAIN] > [CAPTURE USING THE
MOUSE]), you can also capture an image by clicking the right or middle button of the mouse.
Image mode and image file size to be saved
The DS-L4 constantly receives data of the live image from the camera. Sequence of capture operation depends
on the settings for the image mode (which affects resolution of the live image) and for the size of image file to be
saved.
 When the FAST image mode and the largest image size is selected
The size of the live image data being smaller than the size of a file to be saved, change the image mode to [FULL]
to start exposure and capture an image, and then save the image data after exposure is completed. Time
required from capturing operation to completion of saving data is constant.
Example of sequence for continuous capturing:
Capture
Interval
Exposure (Image A)
 Settings other than the above
When exposure is complete for an image continuously being under exposure by the camera, data of the image is
saved. Time required from capturing operation to completion of saving data is not constant.
Example of sequence for continuous capturing:
Capture
Exposure (Image A) Exposure (Image B) Exposure (Image C) Exposure (Image D)
