Playback Menu 

This menu allow review of acquired images, and allows for their deletion and memory card formatting. 
When the menu is entered, the camera will be configured to display the last image acquired. 

T - Show Next Image 

Displays the next image in memory. If the current image is the last one acquired, the camera will cycle to 
the first image. 

W - Show Previous Image 

Displays the previous image in memory. If the current image is the first one acquired, the camera will cycle 
to the last image. 

N - Select Image 

Given a large number of images in memory, it may be much faster to index to a particular image number. 
The first picture acquired is 1, and so on up to the last image. This command requests which image number 
is of interest, and then displays that image. 

O - Delete Image 

The currently displayed image is deleted, after a positive confirmation. 

E - Erase All Images 

All of the images on the memory card are erased, after a positive confirmation. Note that this is somewhat 
different than reformatting the memory card, in that if images are present on the card that were previously 
protected, those images will not be erased, whereas if re-formatted, everything on the memory card will be 
eliminated. 

F - Reformat Memory 

Reformats the memory card, after a positive confirmation. All information on the card will be destroyed, 
and the directory structure re-established.  

Q - Quit to Main Menu 

 Return to the main menu, where images can be acquired. Note that if supported by the camera, the 
extended protocol will be used, which may add a slight delay. 

Configuration Menu 

The DigiSnap 3000 has a host of user accessible configurations, controlling the camera, power 
management, temperature monitoring, etc. This menu is the entry point to accessing these configurations. 

C - Camera Menu 

Switch to the camera configuration menu. 

D - DigiSnap Operation Menu 

Switch to the DigiSnap configuration menu.  

T - Time-Lapse Menu 

Switch to the Time-Lapse configuration menu.
