SAVE PICTURE TO DISK

Typing an "S" when the camera is operating tells the computer to save the current picture to disk. The computer will prompt for a filename and attempt to save the picture to disk. If an error is encountered in attempting to save the picture (usually due to insufficient disk space) then a message is displayed. Otherwise the picture is stored to disk.

(Applesoft only.) Normally, the MicronEye program will compress the picture before storing it to disk. Although this saves a lot of disk space, the pictures saved are incompatible with commercially available graphics manipulation packages and screen dump programs. If you prefer that the MicronEye program store pictures in a conventional, non-compressed format then perform the following sequence of DOS and Applesoft commands:

 

The Pascal version of MicronEye saves pictures in compressed format only. This is because a standard format for a .FOTO file has not been defined by Apple or other graphics software companies.
