Connecting Your Camera to the Computer

You will connect your camera to the computer using IEEE 1394 cable. This cable moves images from the camera to the computer at a very rapid rate. It is easy to use—you can plug either end into the camera or the computer, and you don’t need to turn the computer or the camera off before connecting or disconnecting.

☛You must use an IEEE 1394 connector and/or adapter cards

To Connect to the Computer

1Charge and insert the battery or hook up the AC adapter. (Refer to Chapter 3 for more information.)

While it is not necessary to use the adapter, it is highly recommended as insurance against possible loss of data if the battery should lose its charge.

2Install the DCS Host software for Macintosh or PC. if you have not already done so. Refer to the Kodak Professional DCS Host Software User’s manual (on your software CD) for more information.

3 Connect either end of the IEEE

1394 cable into the camera port.

4 Connect the other end of the cable into any available port on the IEEE 1394 adapter card on your computer.

The adapter card may have multiple ports.
