SaveTo PC+CARD changed not saved in log file

[johnschnupp]

Last night I had an interesting situation occur...somewhere in the course of changing shooting parameters I somehow must have inadvertently changed the 'SaveTo' option from PC+card to PC.  The end result was that out of 43 frames shot, only about 10 were actually saved to the card and all the rest were saved to only the PC. 

 

I tried reading the log files to determine when/how this happened.  As part of that I reconnected the camera and made some changes to settings and then checked the new log file.  I found that when I changed the 'SaveTo' setting that it was not recorded in the log file.  I think it would be very helpful if the log file recorded changed to all the different settings, including the 'SaveTo' setting.

 

I'm quite certain it was my mistake and is not a BYE bug.  I say this because early on in the evening I sat on my reading glassed and broke them...made the rest of the evening challenging to say the least.

All changes in the capture plan are NOT live.  The are active only when you start your capture plan.

 

All commands sent to the camera are logged, including the save to command.  You will find the save to command just before the take picture command.  Look for "SaveTo".

 

The log files are mostly meant for me to troubleshoot issues, though they do come in handy to most of you sometimes

I guess that was just the filed service engineer in me thinking/typing :-)  Over the past almost 30 years I've become quite proficient at reading the various log and fault files on my machines.
