WARNINGS, RESTRICTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• If you want to power the H5D from a PC laptop (as opposed to a Macintosh laptop), you must ensure that the FireWire port on the computer is capable of supplying power. Please note the following:
Most recent Macintosh computers are compatible, both desktops and laptops .
Most recent desktop PC computers are compatible.
Most laptop PC computers are not compatible (but can be modified in many cases).
• Keep the H5D and computer equipment away from moisture wherever possible. If your camera becomes wet, disconnect from power and allow it to dry before attempting to operate again.
