Notes
Keep an eye on the battery remaining power. If battery power runs low, the camera
may stop operating while connected to the computer. This could cause the
computer to malfunction, and any image data (file) being transmitted may be lost.
Never open the camera's battery/card compartment cover while the card access
lamp is blinking. Doing so may destroy the image files.
If the camera is connected to the computer via a USB hub, operation may not be
stable if there are any compatibility problems between the computer and the hub. In
such cases, do not use the hub and connect the camera directly to the computer
instead.
If you want to process images using graphics applications, be sure to download
them to your computer first. Depending on the software, image files may be
destroyed if the images are processed (rotated, etc.) while they are on the card.
If your computer cannot read the camera's image data via the USB connection, you
can use an optional PC card adapter or other media adapter to transfer images from
a CompactFlash or xD-Picture Card to the computer.
