Inserting (and Removing) a PCMCIA

This section describes how to insert (and remove) a PCMCIA card into the

camera back. PCMCIA cards are not supplied with the camera back, but

are available as optional equipment. Refer to chapter 1, to the README file

on the supplied software driver diskettes, and to the appendix “Optional

Equipment & Spare Parts List” for additional information on supported

cards.

A PCMCIA card can be inserted or removed at any time, except when the

red “Card Busy” light on the camera back is blinking. You can insert/

remove a card while in the field, while connected to the AC battery

charger adapter, while connected to a computer and/or while the camera

back is on or off.

IMPORTANT: When the red Card Busy light is blinking, data is being read from

or written to the PCMCIA card, for example just after you take a picture, or later

when you move data from the camera back to a computer. If the card is removed

while the light is blinking, you may lose the current image, and may lose other

images as well.

Follow these steps to insert a PCMCIA card. (If a card is currently in-

stalled, there is no need to follow these steps now, although if you are

unfamiliar with the use of this type of card you may wish first to remove

the card as described in the next section, and then to return here to

reinstall the card.)
