Downloading Images without Installing the
Software
If you are running Windows Vista, Windows XP or Mac OS X (v10.3/v10.4), download images
by simply connecting the camera to a computer, without installing the software bundled on
the Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk.
However, please note that there are several limitations.
•It may take a few minutes, after connecting to the camera, until you can download images.
•The camera information (firmware version, etc.) may not display correctly. In this case, use the
software from the Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk.
•Sound files attached to still images as sound memos and sound files recorded with the Sound
Recorder function may not download depending on file size and software used.
•RAW images may not be downloadable with some software programs or operating systems.
•Movies may not download correctly if the file size or software program is incompatible.
•Images shot in the vertical orientation may be downloaded in the horizontal position.
•The protection setting for images protected in the camera may be lost when transferred to
the computer.
•There may be other problems with image downloads depending upon the operating system
in use, the file size or the software in use.
This function cannot be used on the Windows 2000 platform. You must install
the bundled software for downloading with this platform.
If you use the bundled software, the following limitations do not apply.
