H4D
Computer system requirements
Digital les naturally end up on a computer for processing. Image-storage and
correction requires a certain minimum standard regarding computer capabilities.
Large images will require a high-performance computer with plenty of memory,
advanced graphics capabilities and a recent operating system. In most cases, the
computer should include a FireWire 800/400 connector, which will enable you to
load images directly from the camera. To load images stored on the removable
compact-ash card, you could instead use a compact-ash card reader, but FireWire
is recommended for maximum exibility.
Warnings and restrictions
