Making Pictures for Transfer: The Auto Transfer Sub-Menu

The following options are available:

thumbnail review or thumbnail playback. If the image is already marked for
transfer, pressing the TRANSFER button will turn transfer marking off. The
"Transfer" option in the playback menu can be used to select all images on the
CF memory card for transfer, or to remove transfer marking from all images
