`

`Important Safeguards and Precautions
`WARNING: to prevent fire or shock hazard,
`do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture
`without its protective carrying case.
`
`The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an
`equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
`presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the
`product enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
`constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
`
`The exclamation point in an equilateral triangle is
`intended to alert the user to the presence of important
`operating and maintenance {servicing) instructions in the
`literature accompanying the equipment.
`
`iii
`
`Ex. GOOG 1010
`
`

`

`• Read Instructions- Read all the safety and operating instructions
`before operating the equipment.
`• Retain Instructions and Packaging- Retain the safety and operating
`instructions for future reference. Retain the packing case for use if the
`equipment needs to be shipped.
`• Heed Warnings- Heed all warnings on the equipment and in the
`operating instructions.
`Follow Instructions- Follow all operating and use instructions.
`•
`• Cleaning- Unplug the digital storage unit and remove the battery
`before cleaning. Clean only the outside cabinet, the monitor, and text
`display using a damp cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
`cleaners on the outside of the digital storage unit. Separate directions
`are included in "Oeaning the Imager" for cleaning the imager in the
`camera back.
`• Attachments- Do not use attachments that are not recommended.
`The use of unrecommended attachments may cause hazards and
`serious damage to the equipment. Do not use cables other than those
`supplied.
`• Water and Moisture- Do not use the AC adapter near water- for
`example, near a sink, or in a wet room or basement, etc. You may use
`the digital storage unit near water and moisture, for example in the
`rain, if it is housed in its protective soft pack carrying case and not
`plugged into the AC adapter.
`• Dust- If you operate the camera in environments with excessive dust
`levels, dust may accumulate on the imager in the camera back; separate
`directions are included in "Oeaning the Imager" for cleaning the
`imager.
`Power Sources- You should operate the unit only from the type of
`power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the
`type of power supply that will be used, consult a dealer or local power
`company.
`• Grounding- The AC adapter is equipped with a three-wire ground(cid:173)
`ing-type plug with a third (grounding) pin. The three-wire plug will fit
`into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are
`unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace
`the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding(cid:173)
`type plug.
`Power-Cord Protection- Route power-supply cords so that you are
`not likely to walk on them or pinch them with items placed on or
`against them; pay particular attention to cords at plugs, receptacles and
`the point where they leave the units.

`

`

`• Lightning- For added protection for the equipment during a light(cid:173)
`ning storm, or any time when you will leave the equipment unattended
`and unused for long periods of time, unplug the unit from the power
`outlet. This will protect the equipment from damage caused by
`lightning or power-line surges.
`• Overloading- Do not overload power outlets and extension cord; this
`can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
`• Object or Liquid Entry- Never push foreign objects of any kind into
`the equipment openings. The objects could touch dangerous voltage
`points or shortout parts and cause a fire or electric shock. Never spill
`liquid of any kind on the equipment.
`Servicing- Do not attempt to service the equipment yourself.
`Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
`other hazards. Never open the digital storage unit. You may dismantle

`Imager" in this user's manual for assistance.
`• Damage Requiring Service- Unplug the equipment from the wall
`outlet and refer all servicing to the manufacturer under the following
`conditions:
`When any cord or plug is damaged (send cord only).
`If liquid has been spilled or if objects have fallen in the equipment.
`If the equipment has been exposed to rain or water (except that the
`digital storage unit can be operated in the rain if housed in its
`protective soft pack carrying case).
`If a unit does not operate normally according to the operating
`instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
`operating instructions.
`If a unit has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.
`When the equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance.
`• Accessories- Do not place the equipment on an unstable cart, stand,
`bracket, or table. It can fall, causing serious injury to persons and
`serious damage to the equipment. Use only with a stable cart, stand,
`bracket, or table.
`• Battery- Observe all cautions printed on the battery. Do not drop the
`battery. Do not use it for other than the specified equipment. Do not
`directly connect the negative and positive terminals. Do not incinerate
`the battery.
`Use only the supplied battery charger, or other recommended battery
`charger. Use only in the specified temperature ranges. Recharge the
`battery immediately after use.
`Do not ship the digital storage unit with a battery inside.
`
`v
`
`Ex. GOOG 1010
`
`

`

`• Temperature- We do not recommend operating the unit below 40" F
`or above 110" F. If the digital storage unit overheats, its hard disk will
`shut down automatically until the temperature is in the operating
`range. You will still be able to make several photographs, since new
`images are stored in dynamic random access memory before they are
`saved to the digital storage unit hard disk. Refer to the DSU HOT
`message in "Messages: KODAK DSU Text Display (LCD)."'

`

`The KODAK Professional Digital Camera System is a portable system
`producing high-resolution digital imagery. With it you can make photo(cid:173)
`graphs and view your images immediately without a photoprocessing
`cycle. You can acquire these images immediately on a Macintosh or IBM (or
`compatible) computer for image editing.
`
`The KODAK Professional Digital Camera System consists of a camera back
`and camera winder fitted to an unmodified Nikon F3 camera, and a
`separate digital storage unit (DSU) that connects to the camera winder via
`an interconnect cable.
`
`The camera back incorporates a Kodak CCD imager available in a color and
`a monochrome model. When you make an exposure, the imager records
`data on a 1280 x 1024-pixel matrix, resulting in images composed of1.3
`million pixels of data.
`
`The system provides high-quality images at exposure indexes equivalent to
`film speeds of ISO 100, 200, 400, soo: and 1~ in color or ISO 200, 400,
`800, 1600! and 3200• in black and white.
`
`The camera winder connected to the bottom of the camera is linked to the
`DSU via cable. The camera winder performs an eight-bit analog to digital
`conversion of the image data and transmits digital data to the DSU. The
`winder incorporates a shutter release button used instead of the Nikon F3
`shutter release button, and a motor drive. (A power winder is required even
`without film beca':.!Se the camera is unmodified and the shutter must be
`recocked after each picture.)
`
`The DSU and camera operate from a standard rechargeable camcorder
`battery or the 12-volt AC adapter supplied by Kodak. When operated from
`
`• You can obtain these speeds, but • I06S of some image quality may occur (similar to when
`push-proces&i.ng film). Refer to "Using the N>kon F3 Cameraw at the end of "Tutorial:
`Operating the Camera ~d Digital Storage Unit.w
`
`2-1
`
`Ex. GOOG 1010
`
`

`

`the battery, the DSU and camera are portable, providing great flexibility. A
`soft pack provides a convenient method of carrying the DSU.
`
`You can view the captured images immediately in black and white on a
`four-inch monitor built into the DSU.
`
`You can store up to 156 uncompressed images on the 200 megabyte hard
`disk in a DSU without a compression board. If your DSU is equipped with a
`compression board, you can store 142 images if compression is off, and
`from 400 to a maximum of 699 images if compression is on.
`
`Eight-megabytes of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) are incorpo(cid:173)
`rated in the DSU. (An upgrade to a total of 32-megabytes of DRAM is
`available.) As a result you can make up to a six-image burst at 25 images
`per second with eight megabytes of DRAM and up to a 24-image burst with
`32 megabytes of DRAM. Then the rate slows to one image every two
`seconds. Images are stored briefly in DRAM before they are moved to the
`hard disk.
`
`Keypad controls on the DSU (and on an optional keyboard) allow you to
`find images on the hard disk, load them into the DSU DRAM, and display
`them on the DSU image display. A two-line text display on the DSU
`provides you with status and control information when using the KODAK
`Professional Digital Camera System.
`
`You can acquire images from the DSU hard disk to one of several comput(cid:173)
`ers with one of the special software drivers provided by Kodak. Once you
`have acquired the image, you can use your copy of image-editing software
`to edit the image using all of the features of that product.
`
`Optional features allow you to connect a keyboard (available from Kodak)
`and your Telebit T2500 modem to the digital storage unit. You can use the
`keyboard to enter a variety of data with each image, including selected data
`defined by the Information Interchange Model of the International Press
`Telecommunications Council and the American Newspaper Publishers
`Association (IPTC-Al\o'PA). You can use the keyboard and modem together

`computer.
`
`If you are working on a Macintosh computer, once you have saved images
`after acquiring them, you can use software provided by Kodak to compress
`the image files (to reduce telecommunications time and conserve disk
`space), add captions to images, and transmit image files to a remote site.

`Storage Unit
`
`I
`
`Follow the steps in this section to:
`
`• Ready the KODAK Digital Storage Unit (DSU) and the camera.
`• Tum on the DSU and set the film speed.
`• Make photographs and set the color balance.
`•
`Find and delete images on the DSU.
`• Use the digital camera system after deleting images from the DSU.
`• Create and locate a subset of images on the DSU (the Tag feature).
`•
`Zoom images.
`
`At the end of this section we highlight additional DSU features not covered
`in this tutorial.
`
`Note: This manual assumes that you are familiar with the operation of the Nikon F3
`camera. If you are not, refer to the instruction manual for that camera; it is supplied
`with the KODAK Professional Digital Camera System.

`

`Readying the Digital Storage Unit (DSU)
`Note: In this section we assume that you will be operating the digital camera system
`from a rechargeable battery, rather than from the AC adapter supplied by Kodak.
`
`1. Unpack the KODAK Professional Digital Camera System.
`
`2. Locate the Digital Storage Unit (DSU) and one of the camcorder
`batteries supplied by Kodak.
`
`Note: The battery must be charged. If it is not, or if you are uncertain about it,
`charge the battery using the battery charger supplied by Kodak.
`
`3. Slide up the DSU battery cover to open the battery chamber.

`

`

`4. Slide one of the batteries supplied by Kodak into place. An arrow on
`the battery indicates the front of the battery. Insert the battery with the
`positive(+) side as shown in the illustration.
`
`5. Push the battery forward with your thumb, and slide the battery rover
`down to its original closed position; then set the DSU aside.
`
`Note: The cover will not dose if the battery is inserted improperly; if this occurs,
`reorient the battery as described in step 4.
`
`6. Locate the Interconnect Cable for KODAK Camera Back and KODAK
`Digital Storage Unit (refer to the illustration below); it connects the
`DSU to the camera. There is a difference between the ends of this cable;
`the end with the thumb-clamp connects to the DSU.
`
`Important: Use only the supplied cables; do not use substitute cables.

`Readying the Camera
`1. Locate the camera. It consists of three assembled parts: the Nikon F3
`camera body, the KODAK Camera Back, and the KODAK Camera
`Winder.

`
`2. Mount one of your lenses onto the camera body.
`
`Note: We recommend that you choose a lens with a focal length of 60-75
`percent of the lens you would use for 35 mm photograph. For example, if you
`would otherwise choose a 50 mm lens, we recommend you choose a 35 mm
`lens for use with the digital camera system.

`Notes: If you do not see the text display, make sure that the battery is charged.
`If you see another message, tor example NoCAME~. refer to ·Messages:
`KODAK DSU Text Display (LCD)" in this manual. It you have other problems.
`refer to the troubleshooting sections.
`
`If the digital storage unit has been used previously, you may see different values
`on the two lines of the text display.

`

`2. Press the Video key. You will see a test pattern on the image display.
`
`Notes: If you do not see a test pattern, your battery may not be charged;
`replace it with a charged battery. For additional information refer to the trouble(cid:173)
`shooting sections.
`
`An area of the test pattern may be flashing. This incicales that the ExPOSuRE
`INDICATOR is on, as explained briefly later in this tutorial, and more fully in the
`"Menu Key· in "Reference- Camera and OSU."
`
`Because the image display is a drain on the battery, it will automatically turn off
`after 30 seconds of inactivity on the keypad. Press Video again to reactivate it.

`Setting the ISO
`
`!J••·······················
`
`I
`
`As you work with the KODAK Professional Digital Camera System, you
`will have to set the ISO on the camera and on the DSU.
`
`You can change the ISO setting on the DSU by pressing the ISO key (the
`DSU must be turned on). With each press, the ISO rotates through four
`settings, with the current setting shown on the text display as illustrated
`above. The settings depend on whether you are using a color or mono(cid:173)
`chrome camera, as shown in the following table.
`
`Color Camerll ISO Monochrom£ CllmLrll ISO

`

`

`In selecting an exposure setting, begin with lower exposure index settings
`and reserve the use of higher speeds only for situations requiring their use.
`Higher speeds may result in lower-<Juality images than lower speeds.
`Specific recommendations for the color and monochrome camera follow.
`
`Color Start with an initial ISO setting of 200 (or 100). Both
`settings produce high quality images.
`
`At an ISO setting of 400 (or 800) you may see mild
`reduction in the quality of the image- perhaps like
`the appearance of grain in film.
`
`Monochrome Start with an initial ISO setting of 400 (or 200). Both
`settings produce high quality images.
`
`At an ISO setting of 800 (or 1600) you may see mild
`reduction in the quality of the image- perhaps like
`snow in the image.
`
`Note: Additional advice appears in "Using the Nikon F3 Camera· at the end of this
`tutorial.
`
`In the following steps you will set the ISO on the camera. and then on the
`DSU.
`
`1. Set the ISO on the Nikon F3 camera Oift and tum the ASA/ISO dial on
`the camera). Choose a setting that will match the setting you want from
`the table above.
`
`2. Press the ISO key on the DSU until its setting matches the camera
`setting.
`
`Note: The ISO setting on the DSU is retained when you tum off the unit
