FireWire CameraMate
Once the FireWire CameraMate is connected to my computer, how do I access my
images?
PC Compatible:
The Microtech FireWire CameraMate is a digital media reader/writer that is accessed as a
removable disk. In order to access the digital images or data stored on your media card;
you must access the FireWire CameraMate through its "Removable Disk" icon. This can
be done by first double-clicking on the
"My Computer"
icon located on your Windows
desktop. This will open the "My Computer" window. Here you will see a "Removable
Disk" icon (drive letter will also be assigned) representing your FireWire CameraMate.
Now double-click on the
"Removable Disk"
icon to display the contents of the media
inserted in your FireWire CameraMate. This is where your digital images or data will be
located.
Digital cameras will usually create a folder on the digital media card, which will contain
your digital images. Depending on the digital camera you have, the folder names will
vary. Double-click on the respective folder name to access the digital images contained
within. You can create a preview by double-clicking on one of the image icons.
Macintosh:
Once a card is inserted on a Macintosh, a distinct CompactFlash icon will appear on the
Mac OS desktop. This is the "mounted" state, which enables read and write operations
for the media. Double-click on the CompactFlash icon to open the media. Opening the
media icon will allow you access to the images stored on CompactFlash card. Images
on the CompactFlash media can be dragged, copied, opened, deleted, edited and so on.
Depending on the type and brand of CompactFlash, the time it takes to mount may vary.
