Using On-Camera Applications

On-camera applications are files residing on your memory card that extend the functionality of your camera. When a memory card containing an on-camera application is placed in your camera, the application appears as an option in Review mode. There are sample application files preloaded on the memory card or on the CD that came with your camera. Additional applications and detailed information are available at www.kodak.com/go/dc290. Applications on your memory card or on the CD are identified with a .CAM file name extension.

Loading On-Camera Applications onto a Memory Card

On-camera applications must be loaded into the System folder of your memory card to be accessible. Use KODAK Digital Camera Software (Mounter) / for DC290 or a CF card reader to copy the on-camera applications to the System folder on the memory card.

Caution CAUTION
If you reformat a card, everything is deleted, including on-camera applications, scripts and protected pictures.
