USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER
Camera-Macintosh Connection
Pressing the camera’s [ON/OFF] button puts it into the USB
mode, which is indicated by the camera’s operation lamp lighting
green. In this mode, your Macintosh 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 drive.
The appearance of the drive icon depends on the Mac OS
version you are using.
From now on, you will not have to perform steps 3 through 5 in
the above procedure when you connect the camera to your
Macintosh (unless you change the camera’s USB settings for
some reason).
IMPORTANT!
• Never disconnect the USB cable without exiting the USB
mode first. Doing so can corrupt image data. See
“Disconnect the camera from the Macintosh” on page 235
for the correct steps you need to perform to disconnect the
camera from the Macintosh safely.
■ Connecting the Camera to Your Macintosh
after the First Time
Since you need to configure menu settings only the first time you
connect the camera to your Macintosh, later connections are
much simpler.
1. Turn off the camera, and connect the USB
cable that comes bundled with the camera to
the camera and your Macintosh.
2. Turn on the camera.
Pressing the camera’s [ON/OFF] button puts it into the USB
mode, which is indicated by the camera’s operation lamp
lighting green.
