Using the FireWire CameraMate with digital cameras
The FireWire CameraMate was designed to simplify life for the digital photographer and not to
detract from the creative process. Most digital cameras include the necessary software/drivers to
access images on your computer— make sure that the required software for your camera is
installed. Using the FireWire CameraMate for digital photography applications provides two major
advantages:
Using the FireWire CameraMate, you no longer have to connect a camera directly to your
computer. Simply take pictures to one or more CompactFlash cards and use the FireWire
CameraMate to quickly transfer the new images.
The FireWire CameraMate uses a FireWire (IEEE 1394) interface which provides a
substantial performance increase in data transfer rates when compared to the traditional
serial connection of a tethered camera and the USB interface of other cameras. This
translates to less time waiting for image transfers, less battery consumption and more free
time to spend taking pictures.
