Connecting to Your Computer

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 quickly transfers images from the camera to the computer. You can leave the camera and computer on while connecting or disconnecting.

You must use an IEEE 1394 connector and adapter card.

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.
