5.4.4 Using the CCD Image Drive
Double-click the CCD image drive (removable disk) icon on the My Computer screen to access
the internal [DS-L1IMG] folder of the DS-L1.
The latest image files that have been shot by the DS-L1 are stored in the [DS-L1IMG] folder, and
these files can be downloaded to the PC.
NOTE: Because the CCD image drive is read-only, no image files can be sent from
the PC to the DS-L1.
The image files stored in the [DS-L1IMG] folder will have the file settings that have been
selected from File Settings of the DS-L1 SETUP menu.

Refer to “1.4.2 Image File Settings” in Chapter VI for details on file settings.
NOTE: To capture an image file of 2,560 x 1,920 pixels, besides file setting, the
display mode must be set at "5Mi". Note that when the display mode is set
at "1.3Mp" or "1.3Mi", an image of 1,280 x 960 will be captured.
NOTE: Do not attempt to capture an image file when the display mode is set at "C.
Scan" (Regardless of the file setting, an image of 640 x 480 pixels, which
actually is only the cut-out of the center portion of the original image, is
captured.).
The image files stored in the [DS-L1IMG] folder are updated once every 5 seconds. Be aware
that if files are read out at intervals shorter than 5 seconds, you will not always get the latest
image. To confirm the time of day at which image files have been updated, follow the procedure
described below.
