TIPS
Viewing and editing downloaded images
→ If you want to process images using graphics applications, make sure you
download the images to your computer first. Depending on the software, the
image files may be damaged if the images are processed (rotated, etc.)
while they are still on the card.
If the data cannot be downloaded from the camera using the USB cable
→ Image files may be downloaded using the optional PC card adapter. For
details, visit the Olympus web site at the address shown on the back cover
of this manual.
Note
• It is recommended that you use the optional AC adapter when connecting the
camera to a computer. If you use batteries, make sure they have enough
power. The camera does not turn off automatically while it is connected to
(communicating with) a computer. If the battery power runs out, the camera will
stop whatever operation it is performing. This may result in a computer
malfunction, or loss of image data (file) being transmitted.
• Do not turn the camera off while it is connected to the computer. Doing so could
cause the computer to malfunction.
•
Connecting the camera to a computer via a USB hub may cause unstable operation
if there is any problem with compatibility between the computer and the hub. In this
case, do not use a hub, but connect the camera directly to the computer.
