Where an image is saved depends on the following:
- If an image is taken directly onto a mount, the image is saved to the mount.
- If a default category is selected for Default Image Category for video capture in Preferences, the image is saved to the default category.
- If no Default Image Category for video capture is set, the image is saved to Default Image Category in Preferences.
- If no Default Image Category for video capture and no Default Image Category is set, the image is saved to the currently selected image category.
- If no Default Image Category is set, no Default Image Category for video capture is set, and no image category is selected, the image is saved to the top-most image category.
