Inserting and Removing a PCMCIA Card
This section describes how to insert and remove a PCMCIA card. PCMCIA cards are not supplied with the camera back, but are available as optional equipment. Refer to chapter 1, to the READ ME file on the supplied soft- ware 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 awake or asleep.
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.
Inserting a PCMCIA Card
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.)
