Using the Camera to Select Images for Transfer

While reviewing images in your camera, you can specify which images you want to transfer to your computer. Of course, you could also just delete the images that you don't want, which would free up more storage on your card. However, if you've shot a bunch of images and need to quickly process and deliver just a few, then marking only those images for transfer will let you quickly get those images to your computer for processing. You can transfer the rest later.

Of course, you can also select images for transfer using your transfer software, but marking images in the camera can be convenient, both because it's something you can do in the field, when you have spare time and because you can mark a "keeper" image as soon as you shoot it.

To mark an image for transfer, view the image on the XS's screen and then hit the Menu button. Choose Transfer order from the Playback menu. On the resulting menu, choose Sel. Image.

Using the Transfer order page, you can control what images will be transferred to your computer.
