Power Supply
An auxiliary power supply is also available for use with the camera. It is suggested you
connect the auxiliary power unit when using the camera in conjunction with the
computer. Since transfers are often lengthy, the power supply saves the excessive drain
on the batteries within the camera.
USING PHOTENHANCER
The primary software for transfering, converting, and storing the files is Kodak
PhotoEnhancer® which is available on both the Macintosh Centris® 650 and Windows.
To use the PhotoEnhancer software, the camera must first be connected to the computer
and turned on. On the desktop, locate and open the PhotEnhancer software. Several
options are available within the software menu.
NOTE: Detailed instructions for using the Kodak PhotoEnhancer software are available
in Room 206 in the form of a PDF (Portable Document Format) file. The PDF file
(Photoen.pdf) is stored in the R:\CADLAB\DOC directory. It can be viewed by loading
the Adobe Acrobat® software and then viewing the file.
