I don't think thats enough, Cannon, Nikon and Olympus (I have one of
each) seem to power the card even when the mechanicals are turned off, so
removing the battery first might be safe. All 3 have to be turned on
before digikam can access them, but the card contacts are so buried I
can't verify socket power. The Cannon is the only one that hasn't
destroyed its original card and its usb socket is both fast and
dependable, the usb socket is worn out on the other two. Its also the
only one with a removable to recharge lithium battery. The other 2 have
a quad of AA's in them. That remove to recharge is a pita, as the
recharge takes 8 hours. And no one stocks that battery so you can have a
ready spare. The cannon takes the best pix, but that rules it out for use
by a wedding photog unless he's carrying a second, fully charged backup.
Thats all immaterial to this though.
