Awake/Sleep State of the DCS 465 Camera Back
The awake/sleep state of the KODAK camera back depends on the mode of camera back operation as follows.
If the DCS 465 Camera Back is operated without the AC battery charger/adapter and without being connected to a computer, the camera back is asleep until you wake it. (You wake the camera back by pressing the record button. On an electrically tripped camera you can also briefly tap the button on the end of your shutter release cable to wake the camera back.) Once awake, if there is no activity, the camera back automatically sleeps after about five seconds to preserve the battery. If the camera back is saving an image to a PCMCIA card, the camera back remains awake until the image is saved.
The camera back is continuously awake when operated while con- nected to the AC battery charger/adapter; once the batteries are fully charged the adapter switches automatically to a slow trickle charge. If the camera back is saving an image to a PCMCIA card when the adapter is disconnected, the camera back remains awake until the image is saved.
The camera back is also continuously awake when operated while connected to a computer that is on. If the camera back is saving an image to a PCMCIA card when the computer is turned off, the camera back remains awake until the image is saved.
