Kaidan Head Signup

Last changed: Friday, January 12, 2001

Pick up:  5pm in 423C Sieg
Return:  by 4:30pm next day

Some suggestions on capturing and transferring images:

• Recharge the batteries and try out the camera the night before you do your shoot.  There is an instruction manual in the camera case. 
• The head should click to 18 positions.  If it doesn't click, you need to tighten or loosen the mechanism at the base of the head. 
• You can use bubbles on the levelers to make sure the head is mounted level.
• Make sure the camera is turned off when you're finished.  Also, do not leave the LCD monitor on longer than necessary, since the batteries drain pretty fast.
• To download pictures you have at least three choices
  • use the PC with the flash card reader in Sieg 228.  You can take the flash card right out of the camera and insert in the slot.
  • if you have access to a laptop, you can put the flash card into the PCMCIA card adapter (should be in the Nikon camera box) and insert the PCMCIA adapter into your laptop card slot.  It should appear mounted as a volume on your disk
  • install the Nikon software on your machine (should be in the Nikon camera box) and download via USB
• You might want to go ahead and capture a hand-held sequence at the same time.  If you have a digital camera, you are welcome to use that.  If not, we recommend using the Canon Powershot G1 instead of the Nikon, since it has a nice  "Stitch Assist" mode.  You can pick this camera up from 423C Sieg at the same time.
• Make sure you return the equipment promptly, so the next group can pick it up.  If for some reason you think you are going to need more time, contact me and the next group (seitz@cs.washington.edu) immediately to see what can be worked out.
