Connecting your Camera to a Computer
10
There are two ways to prepare for accessing camera images from your computer:
✔Connect the camera to the computer using an IEEE 1394 connection.
✔Remove the PC Card from the camera and insert it into a PC Card reader.
Once you have done one of the above, you can access camera images from your computer.
You will need to use Kodak Software to acquire images that were not processed on the
camera. The Kodak Software, installer software for Macintosh and Windows, and the
KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Host Software User’s Manual are supplied separately on
the DCS Host Software CD included with your camera.
☛Use Adobe Acrobat Reader (included on the CD) to view or print the manual.
Images processed on the camera can be accessed by other applications without being
acquired by the Kodak Software. Refer to “Setting Processing Options” on page 4-11.

Advantages to Using an IEEE 1394 Connection

✔You can capture images, then view them on your computer within seconds.
✔You can update the firmware on your camera from your computer.

Advantages to Using a Card Reader

✔You do not need a camera present while you are accessing images. (Someone else
can use the camera while you work with the images.)
✔Some Notebook PC’s don’t have IEEE 1394 connections but they do have PC Card
readers.
