7-22 Reference — Camera
Taking Pictures While Connected to the
Computer
You can take pictures with the camera while it is connected to the com-
puter (for example in a studio setting). The following considerations apply
to this usage.
The camera functions independently, so if a PCMCIA card is in the
camera, it is not necessary for the computer to be running the soft-
ware driver while taking pictures. The camera will continue to func-
tion 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 while
the camera is connected to a computer. We recommend this configu-
ration.
If you use the camera while the software driver is running on the
computer, images will appear one-after-another in the image window
as you take pictures, allowing you to determine quickly if the current
image is acceptable or not.
If no PCMCIA card is present in the camera 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.
The DELETE button on the camera back is disabled while the camera
is connected to a computer. Instead use the D
ELETE button on the
driver image window of the software driver to delete images.
The Take Picture icon on the software driver can be clicked to issue a
command that directs the camera to take a picture.
