I had time to save the card. I went to my cabin to place the camera there. At that moment I did not realise how critical the situation was. In fact I was swearing because I was not able to put my breads in the owen because of the 30 degree tilt :-) Later, when I reaised how critical it was, my priority was to make sure no one was sleeping in the cabins at my level. Most likely I had time to pick up the camera and save the pictures. But it was not at my mind.
