Using an SD Card Reader

VIEWING THE PHOTOS and VIDEOS

After your camera has been operating for awhile, you will of course want to review the photos and/or videos it has been capturing. This can be done by either of two methods, according to your preference or the availability of accessory equipment:

Push the SD card in slightly to release it then pull it out gently.

Put the SD card into any of the widely available SD card readers (either a dedicated SD card reader or “multi-card reader” that features slots for several different memory cards, including SD cards.

Follow the card reader supplier’s directions to view or download the photo and/or video files on the SD card.

Connecting the Camera to Your Computer via USB

Slide the Power switch to the“ON”position, then press the SETUP button. Connect your camera’S USB port (left side near the display with camera unlatched and open) to a PC or Mac computer with a USB cable (not included, available at most electronics/computer retailers) that has a “Mini-B” USB plug on one end (camera) and a “Standard-A” USB plug at the other end (computer). The PC will recognize the camera as an external storage device, using the “USB Mass Storage” standard (no driver installation necessary-not compatible with Windows 98 or earlier). The PC will display a new disk symbol under “My Computer” or in Windows Explorer (Macs-new disk appears on the desktop), and you will see a dialog window on your desktop with several options to view, move, or copy the photo and video files that are stored on the SD card. The camera’s LCD will display “STO”, meaning the camera is in mass storage mode.
