CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO A COMPUTER
1.Start up the computer. The computer must be on before
connecting the camera.
2.Open the terminal cover. Attach the smaller plug of the USB cable
to the camera. The plug should be firmly attached.
3.Attach the other end of the USB cable to the computer’s USB port.
The plug should be firmly attached. The camera should be
connected directly to the computer’s USB port. Attaching the
camera to a USB hub may prevent proper operation.
4.With a memory card inserted, turn on the camera. A screen will
appear to indicate the start of the connection process. When the
connection is made, the camera’s monitors turn off. To change the
card while the camera is connected to a computer, see page 152.
With the camera properly connected to Windows XP or Mac OS X,
a window may open to download the image data; follow the
instructions in the window. A drive icon, or volume, also appears
with all operating systems; the volume name varies with memory
card and operating system. If the computer does not recognize the
camera, disconnect the camera, restart the computer, and repeat
the procedure.
A fully charged battery should be used when the camera is connected to a computer. The
AC adapter (sold separately) is recommended over the use of batteries. For users with
Windows 98, read the section on how to install the necessary driver before connecting
the camera to a computer.
