Other ways to unmount the camera
The camera will be unmounted automatically if you do any of
the following:
Notes on Using the Camera as a Drive
Nikon View allows the camera’s memory to be used in much the
same way that you would use any other drive. Note however
that the following limitations apply:
•
•
•
Turn the camera off
Let the camera go into sleep mode
Remove the compact flash-memory card from the cam-
era
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. The first camera to be recog-
nized by the computer will be the one that is mounted.
•
Set the camera to a mode other than “PC” mode
When the camera is unmounted, the folders containing images
recorded by the camera will close and the Nikon DI icon will
disappear from the desktop.
The camera cannot be shared over a network:
The camera will not function as a network drive. Consequently
the Nikon D1 icon will not be visible to other computers.
Remounting the camera
The camera will be remounted if you do any of the following:
The camera’s memory is read-only:
•
•
Turn the camera off and then on
Wake the camera up by pressing the shutter-release
button half way
The camera’s memory is read only, so that files cannot be
copied to the camera’s memory, nor can files be saved after
being changed or edited in another application. Should you wish
to change a file name, do so after copying the image to the hard
disk. Once a file has been changed in any way, it cannot be
copied back to the image folder in the camera drive. (Although
New Folder and Duplicate in the File menu are enabled for
the camera volume, you can not create new folders or duplicate
files in the camera’s memory.)
•
•
Remove and reinsert the memory card
Return the camera to “PC” mode after switching to some
other mode.

The Nikon D1 camera drive window opens, and the folders
stored in the camera’s memory are displayed.
Working with Images
Once the camera has been connected as a drive as described in
the preceding sections, you can use the camera’s memory with
Nikon View in much the same way that you would use any other
drive under Mac OS. This chapter describes how to copy
images taken with the Nikon D1 digital camera to disk, and how
to open them for editing in other applications. These opera-
tions are much the same as standard Finder operations; consult
your Mac OS manual for details.
2 Double-click the icon for the folder that you want to
Viewing the Items in the Camera’s Memory
browse.
Follow these steps to view images stored in your digital
camera’s memory.
1 Double-click the Nikon D1 icon at the right side of the
desktop.
Folder Names
When displayed in NikonView,folders created with the camera are prefixed
by a three-digit folder number. Thus the default folder is displayed as
“100NC_D1.” Each folder can hold up to 999 images. If this number is
exceeded, the camera will create a new folder with the same name but a
different prefix (e.g.,“101NC_D1”). When viewed on a computer, folders
with the same name but a different prefix appear as separate folders. When
viewed from the camera menus, however, folders with the same name ap-
pear to be the same folder, although the full folder name with prefix ap-
pears in the photo information display in playback mode.

The images in the selected folder will appear as thumbnail
file icons.
Caution: Do not attempt to replace on image file on the
camera’s memory card with another image file with the same
name. Even if you click OK in the dialog that appears when a file
with the same name is copied to the camera drive, the file will not
be overwritten but will instead be erased from the camera’s
memory.
Images can be copied to disk or opened for editing in an-
other application using standard Finder operations, as de-
scribed below.
Tip
Tip
The ReadMe file in the Nikon D1 window contains important information
for using NikonView. This ReadMe file can be deleted by dragging the file to
theTrash. Once deleted, the file is permanently erased from the Nikon D1
window. If, after deleting the ReadMe file, you would like to review the
information provided, drag the NikonView Preferences (found in the
path “System Folder|Preferences|NikonView Preferences”) into theTrash
and restart your computer.
When the camera functions as a drive,it is treated as a read-only disk. Files
cannot be copied or saved to the camera. Similarly, the Finder commands
New Folder, Duplicate, and Make Alias cannot be used on the camera
or the images it contains. Even if you select as List or as Buttons from
the Finder menu to view folders, images will be displayed as icons the next
time you mount the camera.

Copying Images to Disk
Before copying images to disk, locate or create the destination
folder. To copy images to disk, select the images you wish to
copy by clicking their icons (you can select multiple images by
holding down the shift key while clicking each image in turn),
then drag any of the selected icons over the destination folder
and release the mouse button.
Note: Because the camera functions as a read-only drive, images
can only be copied, not moved, even if the option key is not held
down. If you would like to place an image on the desktop, hold
down the option key while dragging the image to the desktop.
Tip
All images taken with the camera are assigned file names of the form
“DSC_nnnn.xyz,” where “nnnn” is a four-digit file number and “xyz” is a
three-letter extension (JPG,TIF, or NEF). Similarly, all image files saved in
folders in the camera’s memory are assigned file names of the same type.
To prevent images already copied to disk from being overwritten, change
the filename after copying an image, or create a new folder for each folder
on the camera.

can only be copied, not moved, even if the option key is not held
down.
Copying Images to Disk
Selected images in the browser window can be copied to disk
by dragging any of the selected thumbnails over the destination
folder and releasing the mouse button.
Tip
All images taken with the camera are assigned file names of the form
“DSC_nnnn.xyz,” where “nnnn” is a four-digit file number and “xyz” is a
three-letter extension (JPG,TIF, or NEF). Similarly, all image files saved in
folders in the camera’s memory are assigned file names of the same type.
To prevent images already copied to disk from being overwritten, change
the filename after copying an image, or create a new folder for each folder
on the camera.

tion.
Opening Images in Another Application
When a thumbnail is double-clicked or a thumbnail is selected
and Open chosen from the browser File menu, the image will
be opened in the application specified for the purpose in the
Nikon View Control window. Images can also be opened
directly from any application that supports the file formats used
by the camera. Check that the application being used supports
the same format as the image. NEF files containing raw image
data from the camera’s CCD can be viewed using Nikon Cap-
ture (sold separately).

fied application is installed on your system, double-clicking images in the
camera will open them in the application. When read directly from flash-
memory cards mounted without NikonView,however,images are treated as
DOS files with no creator. In order to open such images with a double

panel to associate the DOS file suffixes (extensions)“.JPG” and“.TIF” with
suitable application. The same restriction applies to images copied directly
from flash-memory cards.
