Registering camera data

To register camera data,

  1. Choose the Camera...item from the Admin menu. The Insert & Delete Camera Data dialog will pop up.
  2. Click the New button. The Add camera data dialog will appear.

    Brief descriptions for the fields are:

    Camera
    A camera name.
    Is_Macro
    The kind of targets. ''macro'' means the clinical photo, whereas ''micro'' means the microscopic photo.
    Is_Exif
    The file type. Usually, ''exif'' means the files produced by digital cameras, whereas ''nonexif'' means the files produced by scanning photographic films.
    Vendor
    The manufacturer of the camera.
    Model
    The model name of the camera.

  3. If you are using a digital camera, click the Select button. The Image File Selection dialog will pop up.
  4. Choose the file produced by the camera you are going to register. The default directory selected when the dialog pops up is the one specified in the Import Directory field in the Preferences dialog. See Section 14.4 ([*] page) for this setting.

  5. Click the Open button. All the fields except for the Camera and Is_Macro items will be filled or selected automatically by retrieving the information on the fields from the selected file.
  6. Type the camera name in the Camera entry and choose an item from the Is_Macro radio buttons.
  7. If you are using a film camera, you cannot resort to the method just mentioned. You must fill and choose all the fields by yourself.
  8. If registration of the camera is successful, the data on the camera will appear in the list box in the Insert & Delete Camera Data dialog.
