INSERTING A CF CARD
1. Open the CF card slot cover on the sensor unit by insert-
ing a thumb in the recess and then sliding it to the left.
2. Behind the cover, you will see a slot for the card (A) and a
release button (B) below the slot.
3. Hold the compact-flash card so that the connector holes
face into the slot and you can read the brand label when
you are behind the camera. 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. If the card can be easily inserted nearly all the way into
the back, then you are inserting it correctly. Press the
card another couple of millimetres firmly into place.
5. Close the slot cover and slide it to the right to lock it.

REMOVING A CF CARD
1. Open the CF card slot cover on the sensor unit.
2. Press the release button a little way in and then release
it so that it extends a little out from the slot.
3. Press the now extended release button all the way back
into the sensor unit again. Some force is required. As you
do this, the card will be pushed out a few millimetres.
4. Grasp the card and pull it away from the sensor unit.
5. Close the slot cover shut again.
 USING COMPACT FLASH MEMORY CARDS
When using a compact-flash card, the H5D is completely self- contained. No addition-
al wires or connectors need to be attached. The recommended type is UDMA/type
4 /60MBs (400x) or better. Please see the Appendix in this manual for a list of recom-
mended cards.
The H5D is shipped with an 8GB (or larger) compact-flash card, which is capable of
holding approximately 50
−
100 captures (according to model). Lossless compression
is applied to the images, so the actual size of each capture can vary, thereby affecting
the total number of shots you can fit on the card.
All cards should be formatted in the sensor unit before first-time use!

 PROTECTIVE BASE PLATE
To remove the protective base plate, lift the securing catch while pushing the plate towards the lens. To attach it again, slip
it over the camera foot until it stops and the securing catch snaps into place.
Note
Do not remove a CF card
from the sensor unit if the
‘ready’ light is blinking!
All files on the card may
become corrupted (and
consequently lost) if you do
so and new formatting may
also be necessary.
