Small thumbnail previews of the copies on the WT-4 are transmitted to the computer for display in the supplied Thumbnail Selector software, making it possible to select photographs for transfer to the computer. Thumbnail Select Mode / Uploading Images Example Suppose multiple photographers using cameras equipped with WT-4 wireless transmitters are stationed around the field at a soccer game, recording the action from different angles. Thumbnail previews are transmitted over a wireless network to a computer, where Thumbnail Selector can display photographs from up to five cameras in real time. Workers at the computer can select the thumbnails they prefer and upload only these selected images to the computer. Using the WT-4 with a Computer 79 Thumbnail Selector Thumbnail Selector displays the images stored in the WT-4 as small thumbnail previews. Photographs from up to five cameras can be previewed instantly and selected for upload as desired. For more information, see the online help for Thumbnail Selector. Thumbnail Select Mode / Uploading Images Internal Memory The WT-4 is equipped with 1 GB of internal memory. Only the most recent photographs are stored; if memory is full, the oldest photographs will be deleted as necessary to make room for new pictures. The photographs on the WT-4 are not affected when a new memory card is inserted in the camera, and memory cards can be freely exchanged without concern for whether the images they contain have been uploaded to the computer. Photographs can be deleted from the WT-4 by formatting internal memory as described on page 173. If a large number of photographs are taken in a single burst, some time may be required to copy the pictures to internal memory. The number of photographs remaining to be copied can be viewed by selecting [Wireless transmitter] in the setup menu after shooting. The camera memory card access lamp will light while photographs are being copied to internal memory. To prevent damage to internal memory, do not remove the battery from the camera or WT-4 or disconnect the AC adapter or USB cable while the access lamp is lit. If the WT-4 is turned off while the access lamp is lit, the WT-4 will remain on until all pictures have been transferred to internal memory.
