Setting up the Camera as a Drive: Camera Drive Settings
Creating thumnail images
If the Create Thumbnails box is checked, thumbnail pre-
views of the images in the camera will be created when the
camera is first connected as a drive. When you open the Image
Folder in the Nikon D1 camera drive, image files will be dis-
played as thumbnail icons. These thumbnails will also be dis-
played in Nikon View Browser, and in the Open dialog box when
viewing files on the Nikon D1 camera drive.
Choosing the application used to open camera files
You can choose the application used to open the image files
stored in the camera’s memory. The default is Nikon View
Browser (built-in viewer).
To use a different application, click the Change… button. In
the dialog that appears, navigate to a folder containing an appli-
cation that supports the file formats used by the camera. Select
the application and click Open.
Mounting compact flash-memory cards
When the Mount Camera PC-Cards using Nikon View
check box is selected, compact flash-memory cards inserted in a
computer card drive or card-reader will be mounted as the
Nikon D1 or Nikon CoolPix camera drive (only cards from
Nikon digital cameras can be used). Mounted cards can be used
in the same fashion as when the camera is mounted as a drive.
