Using PhotoFlash to work with your camera and images
PhotoFlash is a program that allows you to perform the following tasks:
m transfer images from the camera to your Macintosh
m capture images from the Macintosh
m open and edit images on the Macintosh
m place images in some of your favorite application programs (see your

Transferring images to your Macintosh with PhotoFlash
Transferring images with PhotoFlash can be time consuming. For fastest
transfer, use the method described in “Transferring Images to Your Macintosh
With QuickTake Image Access,” earlier in this chapter.
Before you can transfer images from the camera, it must be connected to your
Macintosh. For instructions, see “Connecting the Camera to Your Macintosh,”
earlier in this chapter.
IMPORTANT
Batteries can be quickly depleted while images are viewed or
transferred from the camera. To conserve battery power, transfer images to
your Macintosh before you view or work with them, or use the QuickTake AC
Adapter or Battery Booster Pack for power. After the images have been
transferred, turn off the camera and open the images from your computer’s
hard disk.
1 If the camera is off, turn it on by sliding open the lens cover.
When the camera is turned on and the serial connector is plugged in, an
animated rectangle appears on the control panel display.
2 On your Macintosh, double-click the PhotoFlash icon to open it.
Note: Because each photo opens on your desktop as it is transferred to your
computer, transferring a full set of images using this method could take 15
minutes or longer.
