Change the Port setting only if you want to use a different port for the
camera or you get an error message. When you change the Port setting,
you lose the connection between the camera and your Macintosh.
Follow these steps to set the port and speed for your PhotoPC
connection:
1 Connect the camera to your Macintosh as described in Chapter 3
and open the Setup window as described on page 5-1. The
Computer Connection box shows the current port settings.
2 Click the arrow to change the Port setting. You can select the
modem port or the printer port.
3 Click the arrow to change the Speed setting.
4 When you are finished, click OK.
NOTE
EasyPhoto automatically chooses a speed that works with most
Macintosh computers. You can experiment to choose the fastest speed
that works on your system. The following settings are avaliable:
❙ 9600
❙ 19,200
❙ 38,400
❙ 57,600
Increasing the port speed allows you to transfer pictures from the
camera to your Macintosh much faster. Your batteries will last longer
too.
Taking Pictures from Your Macintosh
When the camera is connected to your Macintosh, you can take pictures
and use PhotoPC features through the software on your Macintosh. The
only control you can use on the camera itself is the power switch.
When you take pictures from your Macintosh, you can see each image
on your screen before you capture it. This “live preview” feature works
somewhat like a video camera, except that the image moves more
slowly. Live preview is especially helpful when you are using a close-up
lens.
