USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER
USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER
Connecting the camera to a computer with the bundled USB
cable provides you with the capabilities described below.
* You can also transfer images to a computer for viewing and
storage without connecting the camera, by removing the
memory card from the camera and reading the contents of the
card with your computer (page 261).
The procedures you need to perform when using the camera
with your computer and when using the bundled software are
different for Windows and the Macintosh.
• Windows users should refer to “Using the Camera with a
Windows Computer” on page 230.
• Macintosh users should refer to “Using the Camera with a
Macintosh” on page 253.
