Konica Minolta S414 instruction manual System Requirements, Connecting the Camera to a Computer

DATA-TRANSFER MODE

Read this section carefully before connecting the camera to a computer. Details on using and installing the DiMAGE Viewer software are found in the supplied software manual. The DiMAGE manuals do not cover the basic operation of computers or their operating systems; please refer to the manual supplied with your computer.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

For the camera to be connected directly to the computer and used as a mass-storage device, the computer must be equipped with a USB port as a standard interface. Both the computer and the operating system must be guaranteed by their manufacturers to support USB interface. The following operating systems are compatible with the camera:

IBM PC / AT Compatible	Macintosh
Windows 98, 98SE, Me,	Mac OS 9.0 ~ 9.2.2 and Mac OS X
2000 Professional, and XP.	10.1.3 - 10.1.5, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2.

Check the Minolta web site for the latest compatibility information: North America: http://www.minoltausa.com

Europe: http://www.minoltaeurope.com/pe/digital/languages_stage.html

Users with Windows 98 or 98 second edition will need to install the driver software on the included DiMAGE Viewer CD-ROM (p. 95). No special driver software is required for other Windows or Macintosh operating systems.

CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO A COMPUTER

A fresh set of batteries should be used when the camera is connected to a computer. The use of the AC adapter (sold separately) is recommended over the use of batteries. For users with Windows 98 or 98SE, read the section on how to install the necessary USB driver before connecting the camera to a computer (P. 95).

1 Start up the computer. The computer must be turned on before connecting the camera.

2	Insert the CompactFlash card into the camera. Confirm
	that the correct card is in the camera. To change the
	CompactFlash while the camera is connected to a
3	computer, see page 102.
	Open the card-slot door. Attach the smaller plug of the
3
	USB cable to the camera. Make sure the plug is firmly
	attached.
4 Attach the other end of the USB cable to the computer’s
USB port. Make sure the plug is firmly attached. The
camera should be connected directly to the		4
computer’s USB port. Attaching the camera to
a USB hub may prevent it from operating

properly.

Customers who have bought a previous DiMAGE digital camera and have installed the Windows 98 driver software must repeat the installation procedure. The updated version of the driver software included on the supplied DiMAGE Viewer CD-ROM is required for the operation of the DiMAGE S414 with a computer. The new software will have no affect on the performance of older DiMAGE cameras.

5Set the mode dial to the data-transfer position to initiate the USB connection. A screen will appear to indicate the beginning of the connection process. When the signal has been received by the computer, the

LCD monitor will turn off.
