and finally to turn the camera off:
23. Press the ON/OFF button on the Image Bank for about two seconds. This
is conrmed by a ‘twittering’ indicating sound. The camera automati-
cally enters STANDBY mode to reduce battery consumption and this is
conrmed by the appearance of the ‘Turn on Image Bank’ message on
the grip LCD.
24. Release the cable from the camera and Image Bank by pulling straight
out on the connector collars.
Familiarize yourself with the H1D
Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the H1D
and its various controls. Note the dierence between
a long press and a short press with some buttons. For
example from the standard screen a click of the ON.OFF
button will take you to Proles while a longer press will
turn the camera o.
You should nd that the H1D sits comfortably in the
palm of your left hand leaving your ngers free for
eventual manual focus adjustments. With your right
hand on the grip, your thumb and ngers have immedi-
ate access to all the controls without letting go. Move
the rear control wheel with your thumb and the front
control wheel with your index nger.
Note the changes on the grip LCD as you press the various
buttons and control wheels. Notice too the changes in the
viewnder LCD as you do the same. You cannot damage
the camera by pressing the wrong buttons or controls or
using them in the wrong order. The worst that can hap-
pen is that you might get ‘lost’ in the menu or you might
activate a certain action that takes time to complete. In
this case simply click on the escape (PROFILES / ESC) button
to return to the ‘standard’ screen again.
