Camera lets you download and view digital pictures - fast
- in Zeta. Look at the About Camera in the File menu
to find out if your digital camera is currently supported.
The Camera interface looks like this:
To use Camera:
- Shoot the pictures that you want, then use the cable that coms
with your camera to connect it to your computer's serial port.
- Click Auto-Probe; it will try to set your connection
and serial port speed (the transfer rate between your camera and
computer) automatically. If Auto-Probe doesn't work, an
alert tells you it "Failed to connect to camera...".
- In that case, adjust your Port and Speed settings
manually from their pop-up menus (you may have only one serial
port) and keep trying Connect until you have the right
settings from your camera (you'll see the failure alert until
you get it right). Start with the highest Port speed -
which gives you the quickest processing - and work down. When
you Connect with the correct settings, the Camera
info in the lower-left corner is filled in and you're ready to
display your pictures, which will appear in the Pictures
window of the Camera panel.
- To save a picture, highlight it and Save to the location
you want in the file selection window that appears. You can also
start dodwnloading a picture by dragging it to the desktop. Either
way, a progress bar shows you the download speed. If you want
to process all the pictures, click Select All first.
- Frames are saved in JPEG files. You can import them into any
application that accepts JPEG.
