(7) Specifying the destination media and save folder
Before you can capture images, you must specify the drive (recording media device) and folder to which the captured
images will be saved. The folder specified as the save destination is called the "save folder".
1 Display the [CAMERA MENU: SHOT/REC] screen.
2 Tap [REC DRIVE].
3 Specify the drive (recording media device) and folder to
which images will be saved.
For the drive, you can select [INT] (internal memory), [EXT]
(external recording media), or [NET] (network drive).
 To create a new folder:
To create a new folder in the folder selected in the list,
tap [NEW]. When the software keyboard appears,
enter any folder name (16 or fewer characters), and
then tap [ENTER].
 To delete a folder:
To delete the current folder, tap [DELETE]. When a
confirmation message appears, tap [Yes] or [No].
4 Select the desired drive and folder, and then tap [OK] to
apply the settings.
Finishing the setting
If you have changed the save destination settings, be sure to tap [OK] when you close the [REC DRIVE/FOLDER]
submenu. If you tap [X] to close the submenu, the new settings are not applied.
If the connected recording media devices change
 If you change the connected recording media devices, be sure to review the save destination settings.
 If you attempt to capture an image when no recording media is connected, a warning message notifies you that a
write error occurred.
Automatic folder creation
If automatic folder creation is enabled, images will be saved to the subfolders that will be automatically created in
the save folder. For any folders that are created automatically, a name consisting of the string "IM" and the date is
assigned. For example, if the date is October 1, 2016, the name to be assigned is "IM161001".
Saving motion images to a network drive
It is possible to save motion images to a network drive. However, depending on the network environment, frames
may drop. We do not recommend that you save motion images to a network drive.
