Apple M3793LL/A Camcorder User Manual


 
You can use the QuickTake 150 camera with a computer running Windows
software, but you’ll need a special cable and the Windows version of the
QuickTake software. You can purchase the QuickTake 150 Connection Kit for
Windows with everything you need.
Transferring QuickTake images from a Macintosh to a Windows computer
1 Make sure Macintosh PC Exchange (or a similar program) has been installed on the
Macintosh.
2 Insert a DOS-formatted disk into a floppy disk drive on the Macintosh.
3 Make sure the image file you want to use is either a TIFF file or a PICT QuickTake file.
Rename the file following DOS naming conventions (for example, a TIFF file
might be named IMAGE01.TIF, and a PICT QuickTake file might be named
IMAGE01.QTK).
You can only use two file formats when moving image files from a Macintosh
to a Windows computer–PICT QuickTake and TIFF.
m Use the TIFF format (*.TIF) if the image you want to use has already been
opened in the PhotoFlash program on the Macintosh. (If necessary, reopen
the file in PhotoFlash and save it as a TIFF file.)
