Leica Digital-Modul R, Инструкция по эксплуатации, Страница: 109 / 119

Remote control operation via the FireWire
connection with Mac® and Windows ®
The Digital-Modul-R can be controlled directly from
a computer using the FlexColor software. The most
up to date version of this Imacon software can be
downloaded free of charge after registering your
Digital-Modul-R on the Leica homepage under
www.leica-camera.com/digitalekameras/digitalmodul/
downloads/index.e html
1. Install the FlexColor software on your computer.
(Description on the download page).
2. Under the
Interface
(3.21) menu item, select the
Camera
function and then switch the Digital-Modul-R
off and back on.
3. Connect the Digital-Modul-R to a free FireWire
socket on your computer using the FireWire cable
supplied (F) and switch on the Digital-Modul-R.
Important: The FireWire plugs on the supplied
cable (H) are different, matching the differing sock-
et sizes on the Digital-Modul-R and computers, i.e.
they do not even fit in the “wrong” sockets. There-
fore, connecting is normally “automatically” done
correctly, if necessary with the help of the supplied
adapter (I).
Nevertheless, be careful not to confuse them and
do not use force, otherwise this could lead to a
false polarity – and damage to the equipment.
4. Start FlexColor.
5. A successful connection between the computer
and the Digital-Modul-R is indicated by the appear-
ance of the corresponding symbol in the monitor
(1.11) and the message CAMERA ONLINE in the
FlexColor footer.
6. You can take a picture with your LEICA R9/R9 by
clicking on the
CAPTURE
button in the FlexColor
main window.
The picture is immediately transferred onto the com-
puter’s hard drive, i.e. it is saved in the folder selected
in the Thumbnails window in FlexColor. If you do not
choose a different folder, these files are saved in
C:\Scratchpad. The pictures just taken are automati-
cally opened in FlexColor.
Note: If you save directly to the computer using Flex-
Color, the picture files are only saved on your comput-
er’s hard drive in Imacon “FFF” file format. The camera
is only ready to take the next picture after the previous
picture file has been completely transferred, i.e. series
exposures are not possible. This applies regardless of
whether you release the shutter on the camera or on
the computer.
