2 Press start button of the MV-1 for at least one second.

•The MV-1 access lamp will blink as it communicates with the camera.

•Folders (x 13) will be automatically created in the memory card to store shooting data. Shooting data recorded in the camera will be transferred here for storage.

•If data transfer completes normally, shooting data in the camera is deleted, and the access lamp will change from blinking to continuous for about six seconds, then go off. Blinking of access lamp may continue for a long time (x 11).

•If the error lamp (red) blinks, it indicates a fault has been detected. In this case, by referring to "Blinking Error Lamp" (x 25), turn off camera power, make sure access lamp turns off, replace memory card if necessary, then repeat the above procedure from step 1.

For F5 and F100 users (setting and changing recording mode)

Besides transferring shooting data, "modelist" and "modeset" folders are created on the memory card each time the start button of the MV-1 is pressed. When the start button is pressed, the recording mode of the F5 or F100 is set/changed after transferring shooting data if certain files in the modelist folder are placed in the modeset folder beforehand. With the F100, this operation is required at the beginning since shooting data is set not to be recorded at the default setting (x 20-23).

3 Confirm access lamp is off, turn the camera power off, remove the memory card and disconnect the MV-1 (x 11).
