USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER
Camera-Computer Connection
Pressing the cradle’s [USB] button puts it into the USB mode,
which is indicated by the USB lamp lighting green. In this mode,
your computer recognizes the memory card loaded in the
camera (or the camera’s built-in memory if it does not have a
memory card loaded) as a removable disk.
From now on, you will not have to perform steps 3 through 5 in
the above procedure when you connect the camera to your
computer (unless you change the camera’s USB settings for
some reason).
• With some Windows setups, you may see a guidance
message appear on your display to let you know about the
new removable disk. If this happens, simply close the
guidance message dialog box.
IMPORTANT!
• Never disconnect the USB cable or remove the camera
from the USB cradle without exiting the USB mode first.
Doing so can corrupt image data. See “Removing the
Camera from the USB Cradle” on page 241 for the correct
steps you need to perform to remove the camera from the
cradle safely.
■ Connecting the Camera to Your Computer
after the First Time
Since you need to install the USB driver and configure menu
settings only the first time you connect the camera to your
computer, later connections are much simpler.
1. Press the camera’s [ON/OFF] button to turn it
off and then place the camera on the USB
cradle.
2. Press the USB cradle’s
[USB] button.
• Pressing the cradle’s [USB]
button puts it into the USB
mode, which is indicated by
the USB lamp lighting green.
