Install the exclusive application software [KY-LINK] and drivers for KA-FW4IU that are in- cluded on the CD-ROM supplied with KY-F75.

Connect the [IEEE1394] connector on the KY-F75 to the IEEE1394 PCI host adapter card on the computer using the IEEE1394 cable. Attach the clamp filter supplied with the camera to the IEEE1394 cable.

The power to the KY-F75 can be supplied through the IEEE1394 connector of the computer.

Caution

When the KY-F75 is supplied with power though the IEEE1394 cable, make sure that the capacity on the supplying side is sufficient to meet the consumption by the KY-F75 (approximately 600 mA in the case of DC 12 V).

When required, connect a flash or trigger-switch to the [REMOTE] connector. The trigger can also be input from the screen of the application software [KY-LINK].

The flash is fired in accordance with the input from the external trigger-switch or the trigger input from [KY-LINK]. However, in the following cases, the flash is fired irrespective of the trigger.
