Other ways to unmount the camera

The camera will be unmounted automatically if you do any of the following:

Turn the camera off

Let the camera go into sleep mode

The camera will be remounted if you do any of the following:

Turn the camera off and then on

Wake the camera up by pressing the shutter-release button half way

Remove and reinsert the memory card

Return the camera to “PC” mode after switching to some other mode.

Notes on Using the Camera as a Drive

Nikon View allows the camera’s memory to be used in much the same way that you would use any other drive. Note however that the following limitations apply:

Only one camera is supported at a time:

Even if two or more cameras are connected, only one camera can be mounted at any one time. The first camera to be recog- nized by the computer will be the one that is mounted.

The camera cannot be shared over a network:

The camera will not function as a network drive. Consequently the Nikon D1 icon will not be visible to other computers.

The camera’s memory is read-only:

The camera’s memory is read only, so that files cannot be copied to the camera’s memory, nor can files be saved after being changed or edited in another application. Should you wish to change a file name, do so after copying the image to the hard disk. Once a file has been changed in any way, it cannot be copied back to the image folder in the camera drive. (Although New Folder and Duplicate in the File menu are enabled for the camera volume, you can not create new folders or duplicate files in the camera’s memory.)
