@geckerdt What Operating System are you using?
Windows 11
@geckerdt, downloaded your file and libraw doesnât recognize it. I need to run an errand, will poke at it a bit this eveningâŚ
vkdt/rawspeed doesnât like it.
Neither does exiftool.
Or exiv2.
Iâm out of software to tryâŚ
Downloaded the KC2 file. Will take a look later. Donât forget to upload one at https://raw.pixls.us
Edit: Tried with dcraw and RawTherapee. Couldnât even detect in RawTherapee. Adobe DNG Converter didnât work.
Thank you for all your efforts! What great support.
Not to great, didnât solve your problemâŚ
I did some more digging, draw was apparently modded to do kc2 files. Iâm not at a computer right now, will try that later todayâŚ
ok, no joy. Got a few minutes before we went grocery shopping:
$ dcraw 705PHIL3.KC2
Cannot decode file 705PHIL3.KC2
Still poking at itâŚ
LibRaw mentions this model in the code⌠Havenât tried though.
From a quick github search libraw might read it? This image viewer includes libraw with kc2 support. Also has windows installer.

@K-1 I tried that viewer just now (thanks @geckerdt for letting me download the image) - two different versions actually, as I wasnât sure. Works well on other files, but not the .KC2 
Also tried Adobe DNG converter - no go.
Is there a Windows build for binwalk? Unfortunately I donât a linux machine running, nor, TBH the skills reallyâŚ
edit - looks like there is - Release v2.3.4: Merge pull request #577 from nmantani/fix-windows-breakage (unofficial release) ¡ CypherpunkSamurai/binwalk-win ¡ GitHub
binwalk_win-x64.exe -e 705PHIL3.KC2
returned
DECIMAL HEXADECIMAL DESCRIPTION
But I donât really know what Iâm doingâŚ
Edit - whatever I try I get the same blank output?
I just tried XNviewMP as well as I found a reference (likely wrong anyway) that it read KC2s, but again, no luck. @geckerdt is there any interesting history to this file? Iâm wondering if it was, say, recovered from a failing hard drive, or anything else that could have corrupted it?
If the aim is to save some memories, and not to process the files: do they have an embedded JPG preview that can be extracted? Far from ideal, but at least something.
If there are such difficulties just extracting the raw data, I think there wonât be a colour matrix floating around, and raw black/white levels, and so on.
For anyone interested, there is some interesting info here - DCS 200 TWAIN driver and KC2 converter - Vintage DSLR forum
Oh, I see itâs already been posted - I downloaded the converter zip, and discovered that (a) it wonât run on Win11 and (b) a sample KC2 file is included, which does open using the viewer @K-1 suggested, albeit in monochrome.
Suggests to me that either the file Iâm looking at is corrupted, or from a different model.
Edit: that sample file from the link above opens in RT5.9 too!

Windows 2000/XP Software i was able to run with Wine, but it fails to open the âF14.KC2â example file.
dcraw however has some insight.

I have just found the Kodak Professional DCS 200ci camera, S/n K380-7590. If anyone is interested in having it I would gladly give and send it to you . I am not sure if it is still operational. It was replaced with a newer camera. The only obvious problem is the battery pack is crakced.
