The mounted camera drive icon is displayed on the desktop, just as with any other drive. This chapter describes how to mount the camera, choose option settings, and unmount the camera. Before proceeding, check that the camera and the computer have been connected using an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) cable (for details on connecting the cable, see the documentation provided with your computer and camera).

Mounting the Camera

Follow these steps to mount your camera as a drive.

1 Choose Nikon View Control from the Control Panels submenu of the Apple menu ().

2 The Nikon View Control window will then appear.

If you have previously installed Nikon View for the Nikon CoolPix series of digital cameras, you will need to click the Setting tab to switch panels.

Note

It is recommended that the camera be powered by the EH-4 AC adapter (available separately) when you are using the Nikon digital camera D1 with Nikon View DX. When using an EN-4 battery pack, be aware that leaving the camera connected when the battery is exhausted may shorten battery life. Should the battery become exhausted, insert a fully charged spare battery without delay or disconnect the camera from the computer. The amount of charge remaining is shown by the battery indicator in the control panel on top of the camera (see the D1 User’s Manual for more information).
