l l l l l Set  the  aperture  to  f/22  and  lock  it  in  position (switch to the right of the distance window on the lens); slide it toward the body of the camera. Set the exposure mode to “program” (“P” with no “D” or “H” displayed). Set the ISO to 100. Set  metering  to  “matrix”  (square  with  larger round dot in center). Set  the  shutter  release  to  “single  frame  shooting” (S). Unique Characteristics You   should   be   aware   of   two   important characteristics of the DCS 200 camera system. One is that it takes four to six seconds after shooting a picture for the camera to save the image and reset itself. The shutter  release  must  be  depressed  halfway  to  “wake  up” the DCS 200. It takes two seconds for the hard drive to spin up to speed in preparation, for the shot. Once the DCS 200 is “awake,” the battery status and number of images taken is displayed through the window on the back  of  the  camera.  At  this  point,  simply  point  the camera and depress the shutter release. After you shoot the picture, it takes the camera about six seconds to save the  image.  Expect  to  wait  about  eight  seconds  before taking the next picture. RETRIEVING  YOUR  IMAGES The   DCS   200   works   with   either   the   Aldus PhotoStyler  (IBM  PC  and  compatibles)  or  Adobe Photoshop  (Apple  Macintosh)  software  programs.  In this  section  we  will  show  you  how  to  access  and compress   your   images   using   the   Adobe   Photoshop software.  Compression  of  the  image  is  necessary  for modem  transmission NOTE:  Consult  the  Apple  Macintosh  and  Adobe Photoshop  instruction  manuals  before  attempting  this procedure. Use the following steps to access and compress your images: 1. Place the camera next to the computer before starting. Connect the DCS 200 to the computer using the appropriate connectors/cables. 2. Turn the camera on. Make sure the batteries are providing adequate power. 3. Turn the computer on. Create a folder to store your image files in for transmission. 4. Launch the Adobe Photoshop application. 5.  Click  on  the  “File”  menu.  Holding  the mouse/trackball button down, drag down to “Acquire.” Still holding down the mouse/trackball button, drag over to the right and select “Kodak DCS 200.” 6.  After  a  few  seconds,  the  Kodak  Professional DCS 200 Camera window will appear (fig. 11-36). NOTE:  You  may  also  get  an  error  window indicating   that   the   camera   was   not   found.   If   this happens, make sure the camera is on. Then depress the shutter  release  halfway  to  “wake  up”  the  DCS  200. Immediately click on the “try again” button in the lower right corner of the error window. If this fails, you may need  to  check  the  configuration  of  the  software  and connections. 7.  The  first  images  you  shot  should  now  appear as  small  black-and-white  “thumbnails.”  Select  an  image by clicking on it once. You will see a striped selection ring form around the image. 8. Click on “Acquire” to the right of the images. The camera will begin downloading the image into the Adobe  Photoshop  application.  This  takes  about  one minute. 9.   The   image   will   appear   on   the   screen   at one-third its actual size (as indicated by the 1:3 at the top of the image window). NOTE: Consult the Adobe Photoshop instruction manual before making any alterations to the image! 10. Click on the “Image” menu. Holding down the mouse/trackball  button,  drag  down  and  select  “Image Size.” 11. Turn off the “File Size” option by clicking in the  marked  box. 12.  Using  the  tab  key,  select  the  smaller  of  the height  and  width  dimensions  listed  (14.056).  When  this box is highlighted, type in this new size: 7.028. If you have  done  this  correctly,  the  three  sizes  listed  in  the window should read as follows: .  New  size:  1.10M Q  Width:  10.584 .  Height:  7.028 11-40
