Install the Software
For information on the software applications included on the KODAK EASYSHARE Software CD, see the Quick Start Guide or KODAK EASYSHARE Software Help.
CAUTION:
Do not install the KODAK EASYSHARE Software with the camera or Camera Dock connected to the computer. If you have already connected, disconnect the camera or Camera Dock before you proceed. 1 Before you begin, close all software applications that are open on your computer. [. . . ] For example, if the last picture taken was DCP_0007. JPG and you delete it, the next picture you take is named DCP_0008. JPG. m When you insert a different card into your camera, the next picture number is defined by incrementing the higher of the last picture taken by the camera, or the highest existing picture number in the folder. m If you use the card in a camera other than the KODAK EASYSHARE CX4300 Digital Camera, and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file structure standard, the \DCIM folder contains a folder named by that camera. For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanied that camera.
