Quick start H1D assembly from new
The H1D can be used tethered to a computer or untethered, though in either case
always connected to the Image Bank for digital capture.
The following procedure is a general introduction to the camera from new.
1. Remove the battery holder from the grip by depressing the battery
holder button and simultaneously swinging the battery holder retaining
lever down until it stops. Pull battery holder downwards.
2. Depress the red button on the battery holder until the battery cassette is
released. Withdraw the cassette from the holder.
3. Load three CR-123 Lithium batteries into the cassette, ensuring the
polarity of each battery is correctly oriented (see the ‘+’ markings on the
cassette). Re-insert the cassette into the battery holder, ensuring the
red button clicks back into its retaining position.
4. Holding the battery holder flat against the grip and aligning the two up-
per lugs with the slot in the grip, slide it back into position as far as it will
go. Swing back the battery holder retaining lever until it clicks back into
place.
5. Remove the front protective cover from the camera body by keeping the
lens release button depressed and rotating the cover counter-clockwise
until it is released.
6. Remove the lens shade by turning it clockwise.
7. Remove the rear lens cap by unscrewing it in a counter-clockwise direction.
8. Attach the lens to the camera body by firstly aligning the red index on
the lens mount with the red index on the camera mount. Grip the lens by
the metal barrel (not the rubber focusing ring) and turn it approximately
one quarter turn clockwise until it clicks into place.
9. Remove the front lens cap by pinching together the two retaining clips.
10. Attach lens shade to lens by aligning the indexes and turning the shade
clockwise a quarter turn.
11. Remove the top protective cover from the viewfinder screen location by
lifting a corner.
12. Remove the protective cover from the viewfinder by depressing the
viewfinder release button.
13. While holding the viewfinder at a slight angle, locate the front sec-
tion into place on the front edge of the viewfinder screen recess in the
camera body ensuring the central locating lug and databus interface are
positioned correctly. Swing the viewfinder downwards and press firmly
until it clicks into place. Ensure that both sides of the viewfinder are
seated correctly.
14. Point the camera at a smooth toned area. Turn the eyesight adjustment
dial until you achieve optimum sharpness of the markings on the view-
finder screen.
