Frame Counter/Image Reference Number
A separate numbering system is provided by the Canon EOS-1 N camera.
Its frame counter appears on the camera-top LCD. These numbers go up
by one as each picture is taken. After reaching number 39, the image
reference numbers cycle back to 1, 2, etc.
Since the PCMCIA card can store more than 39 images, you probably will
have multiple images on the same PCMCIA card with the same numbers.
To avoid confusion when you — or others — look for specific images on
the PCMCIA card, you can use the record button as described later in this
chapter to annotate images, or when you access images with the driver,
you can look in the image information window to determine the time the
image was taken.
This frame counter displays the number of the picture you have just taken
rather than the number of the next picture you will take.
The frame counter is displayed with each image in the software driver
image window.
Deleting Pictures (Optional)
This section describes how you can delete one or more of the most recent
pictures from the PCMCIA card. This feature is useful if your card is full
and you need to make room for more pictures or if you know that you
have just taken an unsatisfactory picture and want to delete it. (As ex-
plained in later chapters, you can also delete pictures with the supplied
software driver.)
1. If it is not on, turn on the camera by sliding the power switch to on (I).
2. Wake the system by lightly pressing the shutter release button.
NOTE: After several seconds of inactivity, the camera system automatically
turns off. As you complete these steps you may need to begin again at this
step.
