There are two ways of selecting the current storage medium:
• See "Selecting the Current Storage Medium" for details.
• Use the zoom-out button to zoom all the way up to the top
level, which shows all connected media, and then zoom in
on the appropriate medium and batch.
See "Navigating Media and Batches" for more information
about selecting media and batches in this way.

Using compact flash memory cards

When shooting to a compact-flash card, the H3D II is completely
self-contained. No additional wires or connectors need to be
attached.
The H3D II is shipped with a 2GB (or larger) compact-flash 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
affecting the total number of shots you can fit 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-flash 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 firmly 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:
Menu>Storage>Format.
