If shooting data is transferred/stored while film is loaded in camera

If shooting data is transferred while film is loaded in the camera, processing will be as below. With the F5 and F100, shooting data is retained in the camera even after transfer, so we recommend transferring data with no film loaded.

F6

• Shooting data in the camera other than the current film data will be transferred.

• Shooting data in the camera other than the current film data will be deleted (shooting data for the

 

current film will be left untouched).

 

 

F5

• Shooting data in the camera other than the current film data will be transferred.

• No shooting data in the camera including the data of the current film in use will be deleted.

 

 

 

F100

• All shooting data in the camera including the data of the current film in use will be transferred.

• No shooting data in the camera including the data of the current film in use will be deleted.

 

 

 

If access lamp keeps blinking for a long time

In any of the following cases, make sure the access lamp is off before turning the power off.

The MV-1 checks the files on the memory card while transferring shooting data. If the memory card already holds many shooting data (files), it could take a long time to store data (several dozen minutes for hundreds of files, or even several hours for thousands of files). To avoid this problem, transfer shooting data from the memory card to the PC hard disk, and delete it from the memory card when no longer needed (x 12).

When large amounts of shooting data are recorded in the camera, even if no data (file) remains in the memory card, the access lamp may blink for several minutes.

The F5 is set to always record shooting data regardless of current camera settings, so even if the MV-1 is being connected for the first time it will automatically transfer recorded shooting data to the memory card. This may cause blinking of the access lamp for several minutes.

Disconnecting from camera

1.Confirm access lamp is off and turn off camera power.

2.Rotate the MV-1 plug in the opposite direction from that used to connect it, and then pull the plug out straight when it is sufficiently loose.

Removing memory cards

If the MV-1 is connected to the camera;

1.Confirm that the access lamp is off.

2.Turn off camera power and remove the memory card by holding it with your fingers.

If the MV-1 is not connected to the camera, the memory card can be removed with your fingers without any additional procedure.
