Synchronizing with Kodak EasyShare software (Kodak EasyShare cameras only)

Synchronizing with Kodak EasyShare software is an easy way to organize the images on your Kodak EasyShare camera without making these same changes to your images in the software (and vice versa). More than just transferring pictures and videos from your camera to your computer, synchronizing lets you:

Automatically update the date and time on your camera with the date and time on your computer
Exchange address book information between the camera and EasyShare software
Update albums
Move favorites and selected pictures from your EasyShare software collection to your EasyShare camera

NOTE:

The synchronization options described above are available only to Kodak EasyShare digital cameras that support them. See your camera user's guide, or click the Help button in the Kodak EasyShare software for details.

Each time your EasyShare camera connects to EasyShare software, the updates you selected in your synchronization settings are made. To change synchronization settings, use the EasyShare software Sync and Transfer Manager. Click the Help button in the Kodak EasyShare software for details.

To synchronize your Kodak EasyShare camera with EasyShare software:

Configure the synchronization options in EasyShare software according to the capabilities of your EasyShare digital camera. Then connect your printer dock to the computer, using either the USB cable, or an optional Wi-Fi card to connect to an available Wi-Fi wireless network (see Printing and transferring over a Wi-Fi wireless network).

Refer to the instructions under Transferring pictures from your digital camera. Pressing the Transfer button initiates the synchronization and transfer process. Follow the prompts on the screen.
