If too many images have been selected, a warning will appear and the copy routine will be canceled.
Divide the number of images into two or three batches. The copy-unsuccessful message will appear
when one or all of the images could not be copied. Check the second CompactFlash card to see
which files were copied and then repeat the procedure for the images that were not transferred.
On February 20th, 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. On board his
Friendship 7 spacecraft was a Minolta Hi-matic camera to record that historic event. The 4 hour,
55 minute, and 23 second flight orbited the Earth three times at an average speed of 28,000
kph (17,500 mph).
Mr. Glenn visited our Sakai camera factory in Japan on May 24th,
1963 to plant a palm tree to celebrate the occasion. The palm tree
is still in the courtyard of the factory and stands over eight meters
tall (26ft).
The camera? It was not lost. It is on display at the
Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space
Museum in Washington D.C. This and other objects
from John Glenn’s Friendship 7 Mercury flight can be
found in galley 210, “Apollo to the Moon.”
