Hi guy's. I had a strange thing happen to me yesterday.
Gear: Mamiya 645DF, Leaf Aptus II-10, 80mm LS Lens, Large Mamiya Extension Tube (NA403)
I normally shoot tethered (via FW800) to my Mac and everything works as expected. However, yesterday I had a CF card (about 10% full) in the DF with Battery powering the system and untethered. I went to turn on the DB and the little yellow light just kept blinking and the LCD never lit up with the typical home screen that appears. I tried everything from trying to restart the DB, removing and reinserting the CF card and even removing the DB and reattaching it to the DF. None of these things fixed the issue. I then removed the CF card and DB battery and decided to tether up to the Mac like I normally do and everything worked fine.
Anyone have any idea on why the DB won't complete start-up with the CF card but will complete start-up when tethered? Seems strange.
Thanks in advance.
