7 Synchronizing and transferring to a computer
Setting up your camera for sync and transfer
Your camera can transfer pictures and videos to any computer running EasyShare software. However, to ensure consistent organization of images and information, your camera stores an internal identifier that allows it to synchronize with only one computer. This identifier is established and sent to your camera through the sync & transfer settings in EasyShare software.
The first time you connect to a computer using the USB cable, you are prompted to select a sync & transfer option. Choose an option that best suits your situation (you may change these options in EasyShare software later):
Yes, synchronize with my software—recommended if installing on a single or "primary" computer. Each time you connect your camera with a USB cable, recently taken pictures and videos are automatically transferred to your computer. In addition, images, albums, date & time, and address book information are updated on your computer and on the camera according to the synchronization options you set in EasyShare software.
No, only transfer my pictures—recommended if installing on an additional, or "secondary" computer. Each time you connect your camera with a USB cable, pictures and videos are transferred to your computer. Synchronization is disabled.
| NOTE: | After the initial connection between your camera and your computer has been established, synchronization or transfer is automatic when connecting with a USB cable (see Sync and transfer with a USB connection). When connecting to EasyShare software over a Wi-Fi wireless network, the synchronization option is not available, and transfer can only be performed using the Transfer feature on your camera (see Wireless transfer of your pictures and videos). |
| IMPORTANT: | To avoid unintentional deletion of pictures and videos, make sure synchronization is disabled for additional computers on which you install EasyShare software. Follow the prompts closely during software installation and when connecting to your computer. Click the Help button in the Kodak EasyShare software for details. |
Sync and transfer with a USB connection
When you connect your camera to a computer using the USB cable, synchronization or transfer starts automatically, depending on which option you choose the first time you connect your camera. You can change this setting in EasyShare software any time. Click the Help button in the Kodak EasyShare software for details.

CAUTION: Install Kodak EasyShare software before connecting the camera to the computer. Failure to do so may cause the software to load incorrectly. |
