operate correctly if you use an extension cable or connect the camera via a USB hub.
i Push the USB connector fully into the socket to ensure that it is securely connected. The software
may not operate correctly if the connection is faulty.
i Additional USB interface board is not guaranteed.
i On Macintosh PCs, allocate at least 400 MB of virtual memory to RAW FILE CONVERTER LE when
converting CCD-RAW Data. If other applications will be used at the same time, allocate the additional
amount required for those applications also.
i To connect the camera to a computer, select “DSC” as the USB setting.(
