Using the Camera with a Computer
You can connect the camera to your computer in order to view and store images
(snapshot and movie files).
NOTE
• You also can use your computer’s card slot (if it has one) or a commercially
available card reader to access image files directly from the camera’s memory
card. For details, see the user documentation that comes with your computer.
. To connect the camera to your computer and save files
1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn off the camera.
2. Use the USB cable that
comes with the camera
to connect it to your
computer.
The camera will turn on
automatically and battery
charging will start (page

• The camera may not turn
on automatically in the
case of certain computer
models or connection
conditions. If this
happens, press [ON/
OFF] (Power) to turn on
the camera.
• Make sure that you insert
the cable connector into
the USB port until you
feel it click securely into
place. Failure to insert the connector fully can result in poor communication or
malfunction.
• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, you
still will be able to see the metal part of the connector as
shown in the illustration.
• When connecting the USB cable to a USB port, make
sure you align the connector correctly with the port.
• Your computer may not be able to recognize the camera if you connect via a
USB hub. Always connect directly to the computer’s USB port.
• The first time you connect the camera to your computer with the USB cable, an
error message may appear on your computer. If this happens, disconnect and
then reconnect the USB cable.
