Connecting Your Camera to the Computer

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

You must use an IEEE 1394 connector and adapter card.

To Connect to the Computer

1Charge and insert the battery or hook up the AC adapter. Refer to the “Charging Batteries” section on page 3-8 or the “Connecting the AC Adapter for Camera” section on page 3-14.

Although it is not necessary to use the AC 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 Windows if you have not already done so. Refer to the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Host Software User’s Manual on the DCS Host Software CD included with your camera.

3 Connect either end of the IEEE

1394 cable into the camera port.
