Taking Pictures While Connected to the

Computer

You can take pictures with the camera while it is connected to the com- puter (for example in a studio setting). The following considerations apply to this usage.

The camera functions independently, so if a PCMCIA card is in the camera, it is not necessary for the computer to be running the soft- ware driver while taking pictures. The camera will continue to func- tion while connected to the computer even if other software is active or if the computer is off.

The AC battery charger/adapter can be used with the camera while the camera is connected to a computer. We recommend this configu- ration.

If you use the camera while the software driver is running on the computer, images will appear one-after-another in the image window as you take pictures, allowing you to determine quickly if the current image is acceptable or not.

If no PCMCIA card is present in the camera each new image replaces the previous one. If you have an image you want to save, be certain that you acquire it or save it to an archive folder before taking another picture.

Do not take new pictures while an image is being acquired.

The DELETE button on the camera back is disabled while the camera is connected to a computer. Instead use the DELETE button on the driver image window of the software driver to delete images.

The Take Picture icon on the software driver can be clicked to issue a command that directs the camera to take a picture.
