Camera Name Submenu
Naming Your Camera
Use the Camera Name submenu to enter a unique name for your camera. The camera name is used
to identify images in the Review mode when you have transmitted images from one camera to
another. (See “Transmitting Images Between Two Cameras” on page 48 for more information.) The
default camera name is Digita Camera.
For example, if you transmit images from camera B to camera A, camera B’s name appears in the
image information area of the Review mode screen on camera A when any images from camera B
are viewed on camera A. The camera name does
not
appear in the image information area when you
view images in Review mode on the camera you used to capture them.
Note:
If a group name is applied to an image,
then the group name, rather than the camera
name, appears in the image information area of
the Review Mode screen.
To name your camera:
1
Press the left arrow on the 4-way controller to delete the letters of the default camera name.
2
Press the left (Character Set Icon) soft key to toggle through the four character sets (capital
letters, lowercase letters, numbers, or symbols) until you see the character set you want to use
displayed in the left soft key label area on the overlay bar.

Up or down arrow on the 4-way controller to scroll through the list of characters on the left
