changing the monitor
the image composed by the digital disk camera can be displayed in either the viewfinder or the lcd monitor. for the sake of brevity, the term “monitor” is often used alone in this manual to refer to either one. for example, “select the monitor” means for you to select either the lcd monitor or viewfinder. before capturing or playing back images, it will be necessary for you to select the monitor.
to show the display in the viewfinder, move the monitor switch to “ finder”
the display in the lcd monitor turns off.
if the image in the viewfinder is out of focus, use the diopter adjustment lever below the viewfinder to adjust it (see page 21).
to show the display in the lcd monitor, move the monitor switch to “ monitor”
the display in the viewfinder turns off.
about the disk status display
once the power is turned on, the status of the disk may appear in the monitor.
if “protected” appears
if “disk full” appears
this indicates that there is no more space on the disk.
if “reformat?” appears
this indicates that the disk has not been formatted (see page 155).
if “no file” appears
this indicates that no files for the current playback mode can be found (see page 34).
what to do if “ no file” appears
when “ no file” appears it indicates that no files for the current playback mode can be found.
if “disk : empty” appears, then there are no files stored on the disk. switching the camera/play switch to “camera” brings up the shooting screen.
if “disk : not empty” appears, then there are other files stored on the disk. to play back those files, perform the operations given below.
switch the playback mode
the selected mode is entered and if files for that mode are present, the playback screen appears.
if audio recordings are present, see “playing back audio recordings” on page 69.
if no files are found and “disk : not empty” still appears, perform the operations given in “switch folders” below.
switch folders
1 press the set button.
“skip file” appears. (the skip file screen)
2 turn the control dial to select a folder number.
if an image appears, press the return button to exit the skip file screen.
if you turn the control dial and the folder number does not change, then there are no other folders.
temporary video clip interval files (see page 106) and temporary animation files (see page 111) are not considered video clip files and therefore the “no file” message will appear even if they are present. be aware of this when erasing data or reformatting the disk.
hint
when you want to know the types of files or folder numbers present, see “viewing the folder information” on page 118. knowing the types of files present and the number of folders helps when playing back files.
