KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE™ DC220/DC260 Zoom Camera
Placing the memory card in your computer

As an alternative to connecting your camera to your computer, you can also access the pictures on the memory card by placing the card in a PCMCIA-ATA Card Adapter. You can then place the Adapter Card in a PCMCIA drive if your computer is so equipped or into a memory card reader.

PCMCIA is an acronym for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association. Using a PCMCIA card eliminates the need to have your camera tethered to your PC and provides a fast picture data transfer rate.

Note: While using a PCMCIA card to access your pictures is generally faster than accessing the camera in the Connect mode, you lose some of the functionality you would have through the Mounter software. For example, when using MICROSOFT EXPLORER software and a PCMCIA card, you cannot extract and save audio from pictures that have attached sound. To access both a picture and its attached sound from the PCMCIA card, you must use KODAK TWAIN software or KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Picture Easy Software 3.0.

Picture Card Adapter

The DC220 and DC260 use a removable memory card that complies with the CompactFlash standard. Due to the size of the CompactFlash card, most PCMCIA card readers do not accept the card as is, but require an adapter card. A KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Picture Card Adapter is available for your memory card to adapt the 50-pin Picture Card for use with 68-pin PCMCIA-ATA compatible devices.

Note: For information on ordering a Picture Card Adapter, refer to the Accessories section.

To transfer pictures via the PCMCIA card: Remove the memory card from the camera. Refer to Removing the memory card. Insert the memory card into the Picture Card Adapter. Insert the Picture Card Adapter into your computer. The Picture Card appears as a drive on your computer.

Does my computer support a PCMCIA card?

To determine if your computer supports a PCMCIA connection:

1. Click the right mouse button on the My Computer icon on your computer's desktop.
2. Click on Properties in the pop-up menu.
3. Click the Device Manager tab.
4. Verify that a "PCMCIA Socket" entry exists.
5. Double click on the PCMCIA socket.
6. Verify that the "PCIC or compatible PCMCIA controller" is present.
7. Double click on "PCIC or compatible PCMCIA controller."
8. Verify that device status is "The device is working properly."

   If the above conditions are met and you have a PCMCIA card for your camera, you can use a PCMCIA connection. A PCMCIA card is an optional accessory for the DC220/DC260 camera.

Memory Card Reader

A memory card reader allows you to transfer pictures faster from a CompactFlash or full size PCMCIA Flash Memory ATA card to your PC computer than with a cable connection.

Several models of memory card readers are available from computer dealers.
