4-38 Preparing the Camera and the Computer
Updating Camera Firmware
The camera incorporates nonvolatile memory that contains controls —
called firmware — for most features of the camera. You can update that
firmware yourself, which means you can keep the camera up-to-date as
changes are made to the firmware. (Refer to the appendix “Updating Your
KODAK Software Driver,” for additional information.) You can also
perform some troubleshooting without sending the camera to a service
center, as described in the camera troubleshooting section of this manual.
By following the steps below to update camera firmware the first time you
use the driver, you will ensure that the camera contains the most current
version of the firmware. You do not need to update camera firmware each
time you use the driver.
To complete these steps, the camera must be connected to your computer
as described earlier in this chapter. We also assume that Adobe
Photoshop (or other supported TWAIN-compliant application on a PC) is
currently running on your computer, and that you have accessed the
driver image window by choosing the driver as described earlier in this
chapter.
