Copying Images

You can copy the images on one card to the other card to save duplicates.

All images in a folder or on a card can also be copied at the same time.

Caution

  • For extensive copying, consider using a household power outlet accessory (sold separately).
  • If the target folder or card already has an image with the same file number, [Skip image and continue], [Replace existing image], and [Cancel copy] are displayed. Select a copying method, then press SET.

    • [Skip image and continue]: Any images with the same file number are skipped and not copied.
    • [Replace existing image]: Any images with the same file number (including protected images) are overwritten.

    Overwriting images that had print order information () will require you to set the print order information again.

  • Print order and image transfer information is not included in copies of images.
  • Shooting is not possible during the copying process. Select [Cancel] before shooting.

Note

  • Images are copied from the card selected in [Set-up: Record func+card/folder sel.] (in either [Stills Record/play]/[Movie Record/play] or [Stills Play]/[Movie Play]).
  • Copies of images have the same file name as the original image.
  • With [Sel.Image], images in multiple folders cannot be copied at the same time. Select images to copy from one folder at a time.
  • Any voice memos added to images are also copied.
