mr2mk1g 10 #1 February 24, 2004 I'm trying to get Quade's great reticule.jpg onto my PC101 memory stick for sighting purposes. I have moved the file onto the memory stick just as if it was a USB storage device but the camera does not display it in its index. Does the file have to be a specific size/type or something or should I be using Sony software to interface between PC and camera rather than just windows? The damn manual is silent on the issue.

cpoxon 0 #2 February 24, 2004 There are usually two sub-directories on the memory-stick, one for jpegs and one for mpegs. Are you sure you have it in the right one? Is there an index file in the directory (something like .db? or .th for thumbnails)? Perhaps you have to delete that to get the camera to refresh?Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #3 February 24, 2004 Yes its in the right folder as its where the photographed images are on the stick. I'll try deleting (or at least removing) the index file tonight, cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #4 February 24, 2004 Ah-ha - the file has to be labeled DSC00001 - DSC99999. Then it displays it. Easy when you know how. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #5 February 24, 2004 Wacky! From what I remember, I just dragged and dropped it. Hmmm. Interesting.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masher 1 #6 February 25, 2004 Just what I was going to say. I have a PC105 (don't know if that makes a difference) I dragged and dropped the reticule using windows, and it didn't show up. I D&Ded using sony software and it didn't work. Renamed it to DSC... and it did. By the way quade, thanks for the reticule. It did help with the aiming. I did my first camera jump last weekend, and pretty much all of the jump is in frame, except for the exit (couldn't get my head around far enough...)-- Arching is overrated - Marlies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #7 February 25, 2004 Exits are tough. Keep at it and it'll become second nature to keep stuff in frame . . . you'll still spend a lifetime working on your exit -timing- though.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masher 1 #8 February 25, 2004 oops... I meant actually getting everyone in frame on climbout... The actual exit was in frame. Just my timing was off.. I don't care, really. It's my first camera jump. . When my next jumps comes around, I'll see what I can do. See if it _was_ a fluke or not...-- Arching is overrated - Marlies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #9 February 25, 2004 Quote I meant actually getting everyone in frame on climbout... I assume we're talking 4-way belly-to-earth here. Stop me if you wanna talk about something else. Unless there's a special need, like a coach request, I almost never show people standing in the door. My normal pre-exit framing is with the wheel of the twin otter in the center of the frame and the edge of the door on the right side. Usually I'll have the tail flyer's butt in the frame unless they're launching something from the inside. The reason for this is that it gives the team somewhere to go and hopefully if they don't give me much of a clue as to when they're leaving I'll already have a head start on my aim of the actual exit. Works -most- of the time, but if they're really hiding the exit count . . . well, all bets are off.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
