Thumbnail select mode / Uploading Images
Operating the WT-4 for Computer
Thumbnail select mode
When shots are taken by selecting [Thumbnail select mode] in
[Mode], the recorded images are stored to both the camera’s
memory card and WT-4 internal memory. At the same time,
thumbnails (reduced images) of images stored to WT-4 internal
memory are uploaded to the computer and the supplied
Thumbnail Selector software lists them as previews. The computer
operator then selects required images from this list of thumbnail
previews for uploading.
Example of Thumbnail Select Mode
Multiple cameramen using cameras connected to a wireless
network by way of the WT-4 are shooting images at a soccer game
from various angles. Thumbnails of these recorded images are
sent to a computer and are displayed in real-time using the
Thumbnail Selector software (displays images recorded by a
maximum of five cameras simultaneously). The computer operator
selects shots from the displayed thumbnails and downloads them
to the computer.

Principal Features of Thumbnail Selector
The principal features of Thumbnail Selector are as follows:
•Displays only a list of thumbnail previews (reduced images)
saved to WT-4 internal memory. This function allows the user to
immediately check the images, regardless of size of the original
images.
•Required images can be selected while viewing the displayed
thumbnails and downloaded to computer.
•If multiple cameras are connected to the wireless network,
images from a maximum of five cameras can be displayed
simultaneously. These images can also be downloaded.
See the online help for the Thumbnail Selector for details on how
to use the Thumbnail Selector.
AInternal Memory
•The WT-4 has an internal memory capacity of 1GB where the most recent
images are stored. When the memory capacity is exceeded, images are
successively overwritten starting from older images.
•Even if the camera's memory card is replaced, the images stored to WT-4
internal memory will be the same as those images stored in the camera's
former memory card. Therefore, if there is no more free space in a memory
card, you can replace the memory card without worrying whether or not you
have transferred all required images to computer.
•To delete images from internal memory, initialize the internal memory
(pg.173). Initializing the internal memory will delete all images stored to
internal memory.
•If a large number of shots are taken through continuous shooting, some time
may be required until the images are stored to WT-4 internal memory. After
shooting, select [Wireless transmitter] in the Setup Menu to confirm the
number of shots which have not yet been stored to internal memory.
•While images are being stored to WT-4 internal memory, the camera's access
indicator will light. While the memory card access lamp is lit, do not remove
the camera or WT-4 batteries, the AC adapter, or USB cable. Doing so may
cause the internal memory to malfunction. If the WT-4 power switch is
operated while images are being stored to WT-4 internal memory, the power
will turn Off after all images have been stored.
