Nikon MV-1 Static electricity may interfere with normal operation, Other precautions

• Static electricity may interfere with normal operation

While rare, there are cases where an external electrostatic field can affect the operation of the electronic circuitry, preventing the MV-1 from operating normally. If this occurs, disconnect the MV-1 from the camera and then reconnect it.

• Avoid operation while access lamp (green) is on

When the access lamp is on (blinking or continuous), do not perform any of the following operations, as they may corrupt the files or folders stored on the memory card, or the shooting data in the camera itself. It is possible to damage the memory card as well.

Prohibited operation when the access lamp is on (blinking or steady): Removing or inserting a memory card; attaching/detaching plug to the 10-pin terminal; removing or installing camera batteries; rewinding film; releasing shutter. The memory card and the plug may be inserted or removed freely while the error lamp is on, however.

•Timestamp for files and folders

•With F6: The timestamp on folders and shooting data files in the F6 is based on data received from the internal F6 clock when the start button of the MV-1 is pressed. The timestamp is applied to every folder and file produced in the memory card with one operation.

•With F5 and F100: Folders and files in the F5 and F100 use a fixed timestamp for shooting data “Sep. 1, 2004, 00 hours, 00 minutes and 00 sec.".

•Folders and files other than shooting data (folders such as nikon_dr, modeset, modelist or files automatically created in those folders) use a fixed timestamp of “Sep. 1, 2004, 00 hours, 00 minutes and 00 sec." with any camera.

•Other precautions

•The MV-1 cannot be used with cameras other than the F6, F5 or F100, even if they do have 10-pin terminals (for example, the F90/F90X, D2H or D100+MB-D100).

•The MV-1 does not offer a function to transfer data to a PC.

•Once written to the memory card in the MV-1, shooting data cannot be transferred back to the camera, or displayed by the camera.
