Quick start H1D assembly from new

The H1D can be used tethered to a computer or untethered, though in either case always connected to the Image Bank for digital capture.

The following procedure is a general introduction to the camera from new.

1.Remove the battery holder from the grip by depressing the battery holder button and simultaneously swinging the battery holder retaining lever down until it stops. Pull battery holder downwards.

2.Depress the red button on the battery holder until the battery cassette is released. Withdraw the cassette from the holder.

3.Load three CR-123 Lithium batteries into the cassette, ensuring the polarity of each battery is correctly oriented (see the ‘+’ markings on the cassette). Re-insert the cassette into the battery holder, ensuring the red button clicks back into its retaining position.

4.Holding the battery holder flat against the grip and aligning the two up- per lugs with the slot in the grip, slide it back into position as far as it will go. Swing back the battery holder retaining lever until it clicks back into place.

5.Remove the front protective cover from the camera body by keeping the lens release button depressed and rotating the cover counter-clockwise until it is released.
