3. The FlashPath can be accessed in the same manner as you would a 3.5” floppy
disk. For example, double-click the 31/2 Floppy (A:) icon. The initial card
recognition may take longer with higher capacity cards.
Transferring Files with the FlashPath
•
It is recommended that you copy files to a destination folder on the hard drive
before accessing them.
Cameras write image files with generic names (i.e. IMG0001.JPG, IMG0002.JPG,
IMG0003.JPG, etc.) and begin counting again at 001 when a blank card is
inserted. When transferring files to a common location, this can result in two or
more files on your computer having the same name, prompting you to overwrite.
To avoid overwriting, create a new folder for each transfer session or optionally
rename the individual picture files.
•
After verifying that all the desired files have been copied to your hard drive, the
original files on the MultiMediaCard can then be deleted.
