Connecting Your Camera to the Computer
You connect your camera to the computer using an IEEE 1394 cable. This cable moves
images from the camera to the computer at a very rapid rate. The IEEE 1394 cable is easy
to use—you can plug either end into the camera or the computer, and you do not need to
turn off the computer or the camera before connecting or disconnecting.
☛ You must use an IEEE 1394 connector and adapter card.
To Connect to the Computer
1 Charge and insert the battery or hook up the AC adapter. Refer to the “Charging
Batteries” section on page 3-9 or the “Connecting the AC Adapter for Camera”
section on page 3-15.
☛ Although it is not necessary to use the AC adapter, it is highly recommended as
insurance against possible loss of data if the battery should lose its charge.
2 Install the DCS Host software for Macintosh or Windows if you have not already done
so.
3 Connect either end of the IEEE
1394 cable into the camera port.
