Organizing work with batches
Collections of captures are stored in named and dated folders
called batches. They help you to organize your shots as you work
and function exactly as folders on a computer.
Batches have the following properties:
• When you create a new batch, you assign a name to it.
• When you copy images from a compact-flash card, each
batch is saved as a sub-folder on the destination disk.
• When deleting multiple images, you are able to restrict the
delete command so that it affects just a single batch.
• When browsing images, you will only see images from the
current batch.
• You can change between batches by using the navigation
controls.
• The batch name also shows the date on which it was created
(using the Year/Month/Day convention).
