cable connector on the digital camera. Make sure
that the cables are firmly attached to the digital
camera and to the computer.
• For serial port connections, turn off the
computer and all peripherals and connect the

end of the mini-USB cable to the computer USB
port. Connect the other end of the cable to the

cannot establish a connection, turn off and on
the computer. Launch the software.

conflict. Read the instructional manual and
other documentation that came with your
computer, or check with the computer
manufacturer for more information.
• Purchase an optional external memory card
device. See your local computer retailer for more
