Connecting to Your Computer
Connecting Your Camera to the Computer
CAUTION:
Do not use IEEE 1394 repeaters when connecting your
camera. Doing so can damage the camera.
Connect your camera to the computer using an IEEE 1394 cable. This cable
is needed to quickly transfer images from the camera to the computer. You
can leave the camera and computer on while connecting or disconnecting
the two.
You must have an IEEE 1394 connection available on your computer.
1. Connect the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro Charger/AC Adapter or
charge and insert the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro Battery.
NOTE: Although you can use a battery, it is highly recommended that you
use the charger/adapter as insurance against possible loss of data
if the battery should lose its charge.
2. Install the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Host Software for Macintosh or
Windows-based computers if you have not already done so.
3. Connect the 6-pin end of the cable into any available port on the IEEE
1394 adapter card on your computer.
CAUTION
:
Be sure the connector orientation is correct when you
connect the IEEE 1394 cable to the computer. Connecting
incorrectly can damage your camera or computer. At the
computer connection, the point on the 6-pin plug must align
with the point on the computer port.
NOTE: The adapter card may have multiple ports.
4. Connect the 4-pin end of the IEEE 1394 cable to the IEEE 1394 port on
your camera.
NOTE: If the camera has an IEEE 1394 connection to a computer that is
turned on, the camera never enters the Battery Save state. As long
as the IEEE 1394 connection remains, the camera stays "awake",
checking to see if the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Camera
Manager is running on the computer.
