Downloading still pictures and audio
To download still pictures with audio (pictures taken in the Still Picture &
Audio mode) from the PDC-800 camera to the computer, use the steps in the
previous section. To keep the recorded sound with the file, however, you must
choose the J6i format for saving the files.
After saving the still pictures with audio in a PhotoStudio album, you can
import them into other applications as AVI files. See Importing pictures to
other applications on page 15.
Downloading continuous mode pictures
You cannot download (copy) continuous mode pictures directly from the
PDC-800 camera to your computer. You must first record or copy the pictures
onto a memory card. (If necessary, see the PDC-800 Operation Manual to
copy pictures from the camera internal memory to a memory card.) Next,
remove the memory card from the PDC-800 camera and connect the card to a
PCMCIA adapter on your computer.
After connecting the memory card to your computer as described above, use
these steps to download the pictures from the card to your computer:
1 Start the PhotoStudio application.
2 Click the File menu and select Download Polaroid Files to display the
Download Options box.
3 Select Disk Drive as Source.
4 Click Add to Album and choose New Album as the album name.
5 Choose J6i as the image format from the Save Images As box.
6 Click OK to display the Copy to Album box.
7 Select the drive letter representing the PCMCIA port to display all the files
on the memory card.
8 Select files by holding the Control key and clicking on the file names you
want to download.
9 Click Open to start downloading the pictures from the camera to the
computer. Each picture appears in an album frame after downloading.
10 Wait for a short audible tone from the camera, indicating that all the
selected pictures have been downloaded.
11 If you want, type a description of the album contents in the Description
box at the bottom of the Album window.
