Copying Images to Disk Before copying images to disk, locate or create the destination folder. To copy images to disk, select the images you wish to copy by clicking their icons (you can select multiple images by holding down the shift key while clicking each image in turn), then drag any of the selected icons over the destination folder and release the mouse button. Note: Because the camera functions as a read-only drive, images can only be copied, not moved, even if the option key is not held down. If you would like to place an image on the desktop, hold down the option key while dragging the image to the desktop. Working with Images: Copying Images to Disk Tip All images taken with the camera are assigned file names of the form "DSC_nnnn.xyz," where "nnnn" is a four-digit file number and "xyz" is a three-letter extension (JPG,TIF, or NEF). Similarly, all image files saved in folders in the camera's memory are assigned file names of the same type. To prevent images already copied to disk from being overwritten, change the filename after copying an image, or create a new folder for each folder on the camera. - 13 -
