Inserting/removing the SD card
The battery compartment contains the slot (Fig. 1/13) for the SD card.
With the PhotoScope switched off, push the SD card into the slot until you feel it click into
place. The label must face upwards.
Ensure that the card is always pushed in until it clicks into place.
No photographs can be taken without the SD card inserted or with an unsuitable SD card.
If the card access indicator (Fig. 3/5) on the monitor is illuminated, images are saved,
read or deleted. The following actions are not to be carried out at this time:
●
Switching off the PhotoScope
●
Removing the battery or the card
●
Shaking or knocking the PhotoScope
However, you can take the next picture whilst the card access indicator is illuminated.
The SD memory card has a write protection lock which is able to prevent overwriting and
formatting. If the lock is closed, it is not possible to write to the card.
Use only formatted SD cards with the SD logo. SD memory cards that have previously
been used in other units must be formatted in the PhotoScope before photographs can be
saved to them.
The number of images that can be stored on one SD card is dependent on resolution, card
size, and quality/file format. At the maximum PhotoScope resolution (7 MPx), it is possible
to save approximately the following number of images on a 1 GB card:
●
DNG + JPG: 60
●
DNG: 70
●
JPG (high quality): 300
