Digita Script Installation Scripts are plain text files created on Macintosh®, Windows®, or Unix® systems. The names of the files follow DOS® naming conventions; that is, they are of the form XXXXXXXX.CSM. The first eight characters can be any combination of letters, numbers, and underscore characters (_). The last four characters must be .CSM in order for Digita to recognize the file as a script. Scripts are placed in the SYSTEM directory on the camera, usually on a CompactFlash card. Each file name must be unique. To add or remove scripts, your camera should be connected to your computer so that you see the camera's memory card as a disk-drive. Open the camera's drive using Windows Explorer or comparable tool on your operating system. In the main directory, there should be a SYSTEM directory. If it does not exist, then create one. Then double-click on the SYSTEM directory. To install a script, simply copy it in the SYSTEM directory of the camera. To remove a script, simply delete it from the SYSTEM directory. The Digita operating environment recognizes that a new script has been installed when the camera is restarted or when the CompactFlash card is removed and reinserted. To actually use a script, enter menu mode on the camera. Then, select the script from whichever menu it appears under. Press the softkey labeled “Start” (Minolta users press the “Edit” softkey) to run the script.
