Pieter,
Didn't mean to mislead you about how to use the camera to read / download
(of the card contents.) KODAK says: Insert the card into the camera with the
camera power OFF then turn power ON and set the memory location to auto as
follows. This SHOULD allow the card to be read by the camera for downloading
to the computer via the PRINT (share) function. You do say in a previous
message that you can see the card images in preview mode, so it is being
read by the camera. Once the camera memory location is selected (AUTO or
INTERNAL) the camera will use that setting for ALL functions - presumably
also including the "share" function and presumably reading the SD card
contents. You are not actually loading the card contents into the 16MB
internal storage memory. The card actually becomes an extension of the
camera internal memory. Set the camera to the AUTO mode as below.
[from the camera manual]
[section title] Choosing Internal Memory or SD/MMCCard
The camera offers two options for storing pictures and videos:
Internal Memory —Store pictures and videos in 16 MB internal
memory.
SD/MMC Card —Store pictures and videos on a card. The number/length
of pictures/videos depends on the size of the card. Purchase accessories at
a
dealer of Kodak products or visit
www.kodak.com/go/dx6490accessories. For
storage capacities, see page 114.
Managing Your Storage Location Setting (after inserting the card with power
OFF)
1 Turn on the camera.
2 In any still or video mode, press the Menu button.
3 Press to highlight Image Storage , then press the OK button.
4 Press to highlight an option, then press the OK button:
Auto (default)—the camera uses the card
if one is in the camera. If not, the camera
uses internal memory.
Internal Memory—the camera always
uses internal memory, even if a card is
installed.
5 Highlight Continue, then press the OK button again.
The setting remains until you change it and applies to all camera
functions.
6 Press the Menu button to exit the menu.
--------
Now...
Turn the camera "OFF"
Connect camera to the computer via the USB connection.
To try and access the card contents via the camera this way: Turn the camera
"ON" AFTER connecting the USB cable. If the Easyshare software is properly
installed in the camera / computer you should be able to do the following:
Select the share PRINT option and (I don't have a copy of the software to
work with...so I can't say for sure what happens here...but) presumably a
printer dialog will appear from the computer if it is "ON" and the printer
is also "ON."
On the printer dialog there may be / should be, associated with one of your
installed printers, a "PRINT TO FILE" option - select that and click PRINT.
A dialog should appear asking for a file location to print to. Select the
destination folder and click PRINT.
Hopefully the camera / card contents will print to that computer memory
location. If it does not work, make a note of any error message you get.
IF your printer does not support "print to file" try printing one image to
paper. IF that (printing to paper) works but your printer does not support
"print to file" I can advise on a freeware PDF (virtual-printer and) driver
that does. PDF virtual-printers are always set up with a printer
destination - the printer port - of "FILE".
Either way, if the Easyshare printing option works from the SD card data, it
gets the images off the card.
