Transferring Files to a Computer
The CD-ROM that comes bundled with your camera con-
tains a copy of Photo Loader and a USB driver. This soft-
ware lets you transfer the contents of the camera’s memory
to your computer quickly and easily. The Photo Loader and
Photohands applications can also be used for high-level im-
age management and editing.
• For information about using Photo Loader and
Photohands, see their user documentation files (PDF) on
the bundled CD-ROM.
Transferring Files Over a USB
Connection
You can transfer images to a computer with a USB port sim-
ply by connecting the camera to the computer with the USB
cable.
• Note that you need to install a USB driver on your computer
the first time you try to connect. Once you use the cable to
establish a USB connection, the computer sees the cam-
era as an external storage device (card reader/writer).
• If you plan to transfer file data from the camera’s built-in
memory to your computer, make sure there is no memory
card loaded in the camera. If there is, remove the memory
card from the camera before you connect the USB cable.
NOTE
• Do not install the USB driver from the CD-ROM onto a
computer running Windows XP, Mac OS 9, or Mac OS
X. With these operating systems, USB communication
becomes enabled simply by connecting the camera to
the computer with the USB cable.
