Connecting Your Camera to the Computer

CAUTION:

Do not use IEEE 1394 repeaters when connecting your camera. Doing so can damage the camera.

Connect your camera to the computer using an IEEE 1394 cable. This cable is needed to quickly transfer images from the camera to the computer. You can leave the camera and computer on while connecting or disconnecting the two.

You must have an IEEE 1394 connection available on your computer.

1.Connect the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro Charger/AC Adapter or charge and insert the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro Battery.

NOTE: Although you can use a battery, it is highly recommended that you use the charger/adapter as insurance against possible loss of data if the battery should lose its charge.

2.Install the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Host Software for Macintosh or Windows-based computers if you have not already done so.

3.Connect the 6-pin end of the cable into any available port on the IEEE

1394 adapter card on your computer.

CAUTION:

Be sure the connector orientation is correct when you connect the IEEE 1394 cable to the computer. Connecting incorrectly can damage your camera or computer. At the computer connection, the point on the 6-pin plug must align with the point on the computer port.

NOTE: The adapter card may have multiple ports.

4. Connect the 4-pin end of the IEEE 1394 cable to the IEEE 1394 port on your camera.

NOTE: If the camera has an IEEE 1394 connection to a computer that is turned on, the camera never enters the Battery Save state. As long as the IEEE 1394 connection remains, the camera stays "awake", checking to see if the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Camera Manager is running on the computer.
