Connecting Your Camera to the Computer
You will connect your camera to the computer using IEEE 1394 cable. This cable moves
images 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 connector and/or adapter cards
To Connect to the Computer
1
Charge and insert the battery or hook up the AC adapter. (Refer to Chapter 3 for more
information.)
While it is not necessary to use the adapter, it is highly recommended as insurance
against possible loss of data if the battery should lose its charge.
2 Install the DCS Host software for Macintosh or PC. if you have not already done so.
Refer to the Kodak Professional DCS Host Software User’s manual (on your software
CD) for more information.
3 Connect either end of the IEEE
1394 cable into the camera port.
4 Connect the other end of the
cable into any available port on
the IEEE 1394 adapter card on
your computer.
The adapter card may have
multiple ports.
