Installing the KODAK Driver

In this section you will install the special software driver provided with the camera. Then you can use the driver to ensure that the camera has the latest firmware (camera control programming), and to format a PCMCIA card(s). Once the software is installed, you can use it regularly to move images and sound files from the camera to your computer by acquiring them while running your copy of Adobe Photoshop (or other supported software on a PC), as described in Chapters 6 and 8.

Installing the software is a onetime action; you complete these steps once, and do not repeat them each time you want to acquire images. The camera can remain connected to the AC battery charger/adapter and the computer while you complete these steps.

1.If your computer is not on, turn it on now

2.Locate the Kodak-supplied driver diskettes for the computer system you will use — either Macintosh or PC.

3.Place the first diskette into the internal drive of your computer.

4.Read the contents of the read-me file — it contains the latest informa- tion on the camera and software driver.

5.Follow the instructions below to install the driver for either a Macintosh computer or PC.

Macintosh: Double-click on the installer icon and follow the direc- tions you find there for installing the camera software.

PC:
