3.2 Loading New Camera Firmware

New Firmware can be loaded into your camera with the following procedure:
First, turn the power off or allow to automatically power down.
Second, Insert a Compact Flash card that contains a new file MAIN.BIN and does NOT

contain a file called LOADED.
Third, note that when the camera starts, you should see the message: "Loading New

Program" followed by "Done" when it is complete.
Fourth, Turn off the power and re-start. The new Firmware should be in and operating.
Note: Do not turn off the power, or remove the compact flash card while a load is in

progress.

3.3 Compact Flash vs. Internal Memory Storage

of Pictures

When a Compact Flash card is inserted, images, sounds and movies are all stored directly into

the Compact Flash. When it is full, a Full Message will appear in the Viewfinder and you

will be unable to acquire any more images or sounds until you delete some files.
When a Compact Flash card is NOT inserted into the camera, you can still store a limited

number of images or sound files in the available internal NVRAM.
When you insert a Compact Flash Card and there are any files resident within the internal

memory, then these files are ignored. You will see a message on your screen that says "NEW

CARD PRESS SHUTTER RELEASE TO CONTINUE."
Note that DC2700 is compatible to Compact Flash card of different memory sizes.
