Change the Port setting only if you want to use a different port for the camera or you get an error message. When you change the Port setting, you lose the connection between the camera and your Macintosh.

Follow these steps to set the port and speed for your PhotoPC connection:

1Connect the camera to your Macintosh as described in Chapter 3 and open the Setup window as described on page 5-1. The Computer Connection box shows the current port settings.

2Click the arrow to change the Port setting. You can select the modem port or the printer port.

3Click the arrow to change the Speed setting.4When you are finished, click OK.

NOTE

EasyPhoto automatically chooses a speed that works with most Macintosh computers. You can experiment to choose the fastest speed that works on your system. The following settings are avaliable:

❙9600❙19,200❙38,400❙57,600

Increasing the port speed allows you to transfer pictures from the camera to your Macintosh much faster. Your batteries will last longer too.

Taking Pictures from Your Macintosh

5

When the camera is connected to your Macintosh, you can take pictures

and use PhotoPC features through the software on your Macintosh. The only control you can use on the camera itself is the power switch.

When you take pictures from your Macintosh, you can see each image on your screen before you capture it. This “live preview” feature works somewhat like a video camera, except that the image moves more slowly. Live preview is especially helpful when you are using a close-up lens.
