9-20 Reference — DCS 465 Camera Back
Taking Pictures While Connected to the
Computer
You can take pictures with your camera and the camera back while
connected to the computer (for example in a studio setting). The following
considerations apply to this usage.
The camera back functions independently, so if a PCMCIA card is in
the camera back, it is not necessary for the computer to be running
the software driver while taking pictures. The camera back will
continue to function while connected to the computer even if other
software is active or if the computer is off.
The AC battery charger/adapter can be used with the camera back.
We recommend this configuration.
If you use the camera back while the software driver is running on the
computer, images will appear one-after-another in the image window
as you take pictures.
If no PCMCIA card is present in the camera back, each new image
replaces the previous one. If you have an image you want to save, be
certain that you acquire it or save it to an archive folder before taking
another picture.
Do not take new pictures while an image is being acquired.
If you are using an electrically tripped camera, the TAKE PICTURE button
on the software driver can be clicked to issue a command that directs
the camera to take a picture.
Using the DCS 465 Camera Back and a PCMCIA
Card
With a PCMCIA card installed in the DCS 465 Camera Back, the unit is
portable, and can be used in the large variety of stand-alone shooting
situations in which your camera can be used.
