Nikon D2H Digital Camera User Manual


 
with the write speed for NEF (raw) les being some three times
that of the D1 series. The FAT32 le system is supported, so CF
cards of 2GB and larger capacity can be used. Lexar WA (Write
Acceleration) technology is supported for extra speed, and
compatible CF cards are recommended for fastest throughput.
New Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery System
New lithium-ion technology expands battery performance on all
fronts as it marks another evolutionary change from the Ni-MH
battery technology used on the D1 series cameras. Not only
is the new EN-EL4 rechargeable battery more compact and
considerably lighter in weight, but it also boasts much greater
energy capacity. The lithium-ion EN-EL4 is free from "memory
effect", so can be recharged at any time or any level; it features
improved discharge cycle
characteristics that extend
battery life; and it performs
better when subjected to
low temperature conditions.
Another improvement lies in
the recessed contact points
that prevent accidental
shorting of the cells.
In addition to the 6-level battery indicator on the Top Control
Panel, an accurate new status display on the LCD monitor
shows the percent of remaining battery charge, the number
of shots taken since the last charge, the overall status of the
battery's life, and recommends calibration when necessary. A
microchip built into the battery measures discharge capacity
and compares it to the full (maximum) capacity recorded when
the battery was last calibrated.
frequency channels avoids interference from other wireless users.
Operation can be set to automatically transfer the image every
time a frame is shot, or to leave it to the user to select images for
transfer while previewing them on the camera's LCD monitor. You
can continue to shoot and capture images normally during data
transfer, and transmission is automatically retried if it is disrupted
for some reason.
*The WT-1A will be sold in U.S.A., Canada and other countries that limit use to eleven
frequency channels instead of the full thirteen available on the WT-1.
High-speed data transfer with USB 2.0
The D2H features a Hi-Speed USB connector that is used when
connecting the camera to a computer to download images, for
operating the camera with the remote camera control software
in Nikon Capture, or to hook up the Wireless Transmitter
WT-1. With a theoretical maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbps,
Hi-Speed USB delivers more than enough bandwidth to do the
job right.
Storage media
The D2H is compatible with CompactFlash™ and other cards
in the EC-CF series, as well as MicroDrive™ media. The D2H
features faster read and write speeds to CompactFlash cards,
Wireless Transmitter WT-1/1A* (optional)
The new light-weight Wireless Transmitter attaches to the camera
bottom and connects to the D2H’s USB 2.0 port to interface
directly with any IEEE 802.11b compatible access point and
realize wireless transfer of image and sound data to FTP servers.
The transmitter's maximum range is approximately 150 m (500 ft)
with the optional WA-E1 Extension Antenna attached. As shipped
with its own WA-S1 Standard Antenna, the WT-1/1A will have a
range of up to about 30m (100 ft).
The WT-1/1A was created because speed is essential to the
action/sports photographer, and working in a sports arena
provides an outstanding opportunity to take advantage of
wireless image transfer. Now you can shoot continuously free
of the need to lug a computer on your back or be otherwise
tethered. It’s true LAN freedom, now applied to the pro
photographer’s needs.
The WT-1/1A offers three security protocols to protect valuable
image data being transferred. ESSID (Extended Service Set ID)
adds a password that you congure in the access point. WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy) is designed to provide the same level
of security as that of a wired LAN. And, MAC Address lets you
add a unique address on a wireless Mac network for a higher
level of security. A choice of thirteen (WT-1) or eleven (WT-1A*)

Data is sent to the FTP server
via a wireless access point.
* Connections to remote FTP servers over the Internet are not supported
* An ad hoc connection can be made to
a notebook PC with a wireless LAN adaptor.
However, the notebook PC must rst be set
up as a FTP server.
Innovation delivers greater freedom of movement for
speedier workow and greater productivity
From the Wireless Transmitter allowing broad and unencumbered movement,
and the new lithium-ion battery system providing more time to
shoot between charges or battery swaps,to large and efcient storage media reducing
the number of cards used on an assignment,
the D2H is made to keep up with the active photographer on the go.
