Am-ePhoto Beta 6.4
(27th June 1999)
There is a slowly growing collection of software to allow the Amiga to use a
variety of digital still cameras. But I couldn't find any that would work with
the Agfa ePhoto307, and so in the spirit of Amiga users across the globe, I
decided to write my own...
Latest News27th June 1999
Beta 6.4 -
Hopefully fixed the problem with handshaking not being selected correctly,
and added provisional (i.e. untested :-) support for the 230k4 baudrate
supported by some newer digicams...
23rd May 1999
Beta 6.3 - No bug fixes as such, just a few timing
tweaks to make life easier for slower Amigas.

BETA RELEASE
The software available for download from this page are BETA
releases. Whilst I've made every effort to ensure a low/non-existent bug count
in these versions by testing on my own Amiga/digicam configuration, I cannot
make any guarantees as to the suitability of the software on your Amiga/digicam
setup. If you choose to download and use this software, bear in mind that you
will be acting as a beta tester, and any problems you may find should be
reported to me at the address below.
Also, due to the relatively rapid pace
of development, I would prefer this site to be the only site where Am-ePhoto
archives can be downloaded. I've already heard about one BBS having an old beta
archive, and whilst it's nice to know this utility is popular enough for people
to want to make it more readily accessible, you must remember that this isn't
the final version, and is liable to change on a near daily basis. By restricting
access to Am-ePhoto to this site, and this site alone, I then know that whenever
someone downloads a copy of the archive, they're downloading the latest version
currently available, and not some ancient version that's riddled with long-fixed
bugs...
Camera Types
I have either personally, or via beta-tester feedback, been
able to confirm that Am-ePhoto works with the following cameras.
- Agfa ePhoto307
- Epson PhotoPC
- Nikon Coolpix 900
- Nikon Coolpix 950
- Sanyo VPG-G200
- Olympus C840L/D420L
- Olympus C900Z/D400Z
It may also work with other cameras from these manufacturers, but
this cannot be guaranteed...
System requirements...
- Serial port (duh :-)
- 1MB of free memory
You will also need a JPEG viewer in order to
view the downloaded photos. There are no image display facilities within
Am-ePhoto itself.
Look ma, no more custom screen!

Links of interest...
These sites contain a varying level of information
about the particular comms protocol used by the Agfa/Olympus/Epson/Sanyo
digicams, and are a useful place to start if you want to know more about how to
chat to one of these cameras :-)
