Using compact ash memory cards
When shooting to a compact-ash card, the H3D II is completely
self-contained. No additional wires or connectors need to be
attached.
e H3D II is shipped with a 2GB (or larger) compact-ash card,
which is able to hold over 40 shots. Lossless compression is applied
to the images, so the actual size of each capture can vary, thereby
aecting the total number of shots you can t on the card.
Inserting a card
1. Open the CF card slot cover on the digital capture unit.
2. Behind the cover, you can see a slot for the card (A), possibly
with a card already inside, and a release button (B) below the
slot. (If a card is already installed, then remove it as described
in “Removing a Card”, below).
3. Hold the compact-ash card so that the connector holes face
into the slot in the digital capture unit, with the brand label
facing in the same direction as the digital capture unit pre-
view screen, as in the illustration. Gently press the card into
the slot. If you encounter resistance, it might be because you
are holding the card backwards or upside down.
4. When the card is able to drop very easily nearly all the way
into the digital capture unit, then you are doing it right. Once
you have achieved this, press the card rmly into place until
it sinks another couple of millimeters into the digital capture
unit and is held fast.
5. Snap the slot cover shut again.
You can reformat a card by pressing the Card format but-
ton on the camera grip or on the digital capture unit:
