Notes on Using the Camera as a Drive
Nikon View allows the camera’s memory card to be used in
much the same way that you would use any other drive. Note,
however, that certain limitations apply as listed below.
Only one camera is supported at a time:
Even if two or more cameras are connected, only one camera
can be mounted at any one time. If you are using a USB port,
the first camera to be recognized by the computer will be the
one that is mounted. If you are using both the modem and
printer port, you can switch between cameras using the Nikon
View Control window.
The camera can not be shared over a network:
The camera will not function as a network drive. Consequently
the camera icon will not be visible to other computers.

The camera’s memory card is “read-only”:
The camera’s memory card functions as a “read-only” volume
when mounted as a disk, so that files can not be copied to the
camera’s memory card, nor can files be saved to the memory
card after being edited in another application. Should you wish
to change a file name, do so after copying the file to the hard
disk. Once a file has been changed in any way, it can not be
copied back to the image folder in the camera drive. (New
Folder and Duplicate in the File menu are enabled for the
camera volume. However, you can not create new folders or
duplicate files on the camera’s memory card.)
