Camera system does not turn on

The message

Starting App

appears on the handgrip display, and the camera system does not work.

1.

Make sure that the battery in the handgrip is charged.

2.

Turn the power dial to a shutter release setting and then to OFF. Do this step two or three times.

3.

Turn the power dial to a shutter release setting.

4.

Push the shutter release button.

The camera system operates as expected.

Firmware update was unsuccessful

If the firmware update was unsuccessful, for example because the FireWire cable disconnected or the
camera system was turned off during the update, the handgrip display is blank, and the camera system
will not turn on.

Pre-requisites:

●

The Leaf Capture software must be open on your computer. Use the latest Leaf Capture version to load
the latest firmware.

●

You must have a fully-charged battery in the handgrip.

This task is not for the routine replacement or upgrade of firmware, it is only for replacing corrupted
firmware.

Note: Under normal circumstances, the Leaf AF

i

camera system firmware is updated automatically as

needed when you connect the camera system to the Leaf Capture software.

1.

Set the power dial to single shooting.
