There are two ways of selecting the current storage medium:
• See “Selecting the Current Storage Medium” for details.
• Use the zoom-out button to zoom all the way up to the top
level, which shows all connected media, and then zoom in
on the appropriate medium and batch.
See “Navigating Media and Batches” for more information
about selecting media and batches in this way.
Using compact flash memory cards
When shooting to a compact-flash card, the H3D is completely
self-contained. No additional wires or connectors need to be
attached.
The H3D is shipped with a 2GB (or larger) compact-flash card,
which is able to hold over 40 shots. Lossless compression is applied
to the images, so the actual size of each capture can vary, thereby
affecting the total number of shots you can fit on the card. You can
purchase additional, possibly larger-capacity, cards and change
them as each card becomes full.
Inserting a card
1. Open the CF card slot cover on the sensor unit.
2. Behind the cover, you can see a slot for the card (A), possibly
with a card already inside, and a release button (B) below the
slot. (If a card is already installed, then remove it as described
in “Removing a Card”, below).
3. Hold the compact-flash card so that the connector holes face
into the slot in the sensor unit, with the brand label facing in
the same direction as the sensor unit preview screen, as in the
illustration. Gently press the card into the slot. If you encoun-
ter resistance, it might be because you are holding the card
backwards or upside down.
4. When the card is able to drop very easily nearly all the way
into the sensor unit, then you are doing it right. Once you
have achieved this, press the card firmly into place until it
sinks another couple of millimeters into the sensor unit and is
held fast.
5. Snap the slot cover shut again.
