Kodak 620C
Kodak 620C
Hi friends out there!
I've found and bought a pristine Kodak 620C with charger, new battery and AC adapter. It works fine, but I can't open images in whatever Nikon View version nor in older software like PhotostackerPro. Is there anywhere some Kodak software downloadable so I can enjoy this nice camera?
Thanks a lot,
Nico

Re: Kodak 620C
Hi,
There is Kodak's own PhotoDesk. You can download it here:
http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professi ... =photoDesk
Also, Adobe Photoshop 6 on up will do it with their Raw plug-in. IIRC, that was a separate thing for PS6 and 7, but came with CS1 (aka PS8). I have CS1 on an old XP box and CS3 on a Mac G5. I use a 760c and a 720x still. I never had a 620, but I am quite sure it is in there.
I never made the switch to Lightroom, but I do think the same Raw support is in that as well.
Of course, the Kodak program is free. It isn't as useful as PS, but works well enough. I have it on both the XP notebook (my field processor) and the Mac G5 as it does let one open all the shots in a folder in a contact sheet, and PS Raw converter is used one shot at a time.
In practice, I use PD to see all the shots, and PS to work on whichever one I choose from the sheet.

Re: Kodak 620C
Thanks Stan,
the 620 is saving images in TIFF only which I can't open in regular imaging software. I am certainly going to try your advice.

Re: Kodak 620C
Hi,
Yeah. The 500 and 600 series save their images Raw in a file with a TIF file type. There is a low res thumbnail you can see, but that is about it without a Raw interpolator. The later 700 series changed the file type to DCR. The file structure is still the same.

Hi,
Aw, hell. I had forgotten all about that, and it is right here (!)
I suffer from CRS.

Re: Kodak 620C
Is it normal that Windows 7 doesn't show anything, at all, on the card?

Re: Kodak 620C
Hi,
No. You should see files on the card regardless of Windows version.

Re: Kodak 620C
I guess it was because I was using too large of a card, despite the camera acting as though it formatted correctly.
What's the top-end for the Kodak 520/620, 2GB?

Hi,
Yes. Upper limit is 2 GB. Larger than that, the FAT will wrap.

Re: Kodak 620C
Do you know if it tolerates "industrial" CF cards?

Re: Kodak 620C
Hi,
It should. I have not had any form of CF card that didn't work.

Re: Kodak 620C
Perfect; I know that the Sigma SD10 and the Olympus E-1 are particular, in that they only accept commercial CF cards.
