To Connect Your Camera to a Computer
Connect your camera to the computer using an IEEE 1394 cable. This cable makes it
possible for images to be moved from the camera to the computer at a very rapid rate. It is
easy to use—you can plug either end into the camera or the computer, and you don’t need
to turn the computer or the camera Off before connecting or disconnecting.
You must use an IEEE 1394 cable and adapter card.
1 Insert the battery tray or hook up the Kodak-specified AC adapter. Refer to “Inserting
Batteries” on page 2-4 or “Connecting the Kodak-specified AC adapter” on page 2-9.
2 Install the Kodak Software for Macintosh or PC if you have not already done so. Refer
to the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Host Software User’s Manual on the DCS
Host Software CD included with your camera.
IMPORTANT:
While it is not necessary to use the Kodak-specified AC adapter, it is highly
recommended as insurance against possible loss of data if the battery should lose its
charge.
3 Connect either end of the IEEE
1394 cable to the camera port.
4 Connect the other end of the
cable to any available port on
the IEEE 1394 adapter card in
your computer.
The adapter card may have
multiple ports.
