System requirements for the PC
For optimal use, the system requirements listed in the table must be fulfilled.
* Make sure that the software you want to operate the camera with supports one of
the operating systems listed here.
3.2.2
Operating the camera with a laptop
Generally speaking, it is possible to operate the camera with a laptop. Owing to the
variety of such products on the market, it isn't possible to make any generally valid
statements about the technical prerequisites for this setup. With an integrated
FireWire interface, it's more than likely that the power supply won't be sufficient to
operate the camera. Recommendation: Connect the camera to the laptop via an
external FireWire board with its own power supply.
If any problems occur, contact Olympus Soft Imaging Solutions Customer Service
(see chapter 6.5.2 on page 31).
