There are two ways to access camera images from your computer:
✔ Connect the camera to the computer using IEEE 1394 connections then access the
images using the Kodak software.
✔ Remove the PC Card from the camera, insert it into a PC Card reader in your
computer, then access the images using the Kodak software.
☛
Refer to the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Host Software User’s Manual on the
CD included with your camera. You can open the manual using Adobe Acrobat
Reader which is included on the CD.
Advantages to using an IEEE 1394 Connection
✔ You can capture images, then view them on your computer within seconds.
✔ You can update the firmware on your camera from your computer.
Advantages to using a Card Reader
✔ You do not need a camera present while you are accessing images. (Someone else
can be using the camera while you work with the images.)
✔ Today’s Notebook PCs don’t have 1394 connections but they do have PC Card
readers.
