When no image taking, image optimisation or saving process is ongoing,
the „Start“ button is active. Press it to start a new scan.
3.1.9 Start / Stop
When an image taking, image optimisation or saving process is ongoing,
the „Stop“ button is active. Press it to stop the ongoing process.
3.1.10 Save
When the software has an existing RAW image in memory and no image
taking, image optimisation or saving process is ongoing, the red „Save“
button is active. Press it to save the image. The selected optimisation and
saving settings are applied.
The time for image saving depends first of all on the speed of the hard disk
and secondly on the chosen image parameters.
To reduce the saving time:
• Select the required image format and resolution before taking the
image (for example 3x3 instead of 1x1)
• Save the image as a .dng file; do the post-processing on the image later*
• Use „sharpening”, „noise removal“ and “colour noise removal” only to a
moderate extent; especially „noise removal“ increases the required saving
time significantly
* Post-processing of dng files in camera raw (latest version) and Lightroom 2.0 is possible with images of up to
65,000 horizontal pixels. When using a 64-bit operating system, the Seitz Roundshot D3 capture software and
the Seitz raw converter can open and process dng (raw) files of up to 4 GB and convert them to tiff files of up
to 12 GB. For tiff files larger than 4 GB a special software is required (BigTiff plug-in).
Once the image is saved, the icon turns green.
When the option „pause after prescan“ is active, the camera stops after
making a prescan and the button „resume after pause“ is active. Press it
to start the image scan with the exposure time computed by the prescan.
