Nikon Digital Cameras manual Remote Connection Type, Port, Speed

Remote Connection

Type

Options available in the Type option vary depending on the camera connected. If you’ve selected Nikon CoolPix, you can choose from Serial or USB (though USB is a select- able option, it is only functional when the COOLPIX 990 is connected to your computer’s USB port). If you've selected Nikon D1, the Remote ConnectionType indicator will read 1394 (IEEE 1394 interface).

Port

If Serial (SC-EW3 cable sold separately) is selected as the port type, clicking the arrow button to the right of this text box displays a list of supported ports. Select the port to which the camera is connected from among AUTO,COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4. If you choose AUTO, the computer automatically detects the port to which the cam- era is connected. This text box is disabled while USB is selected as the port type.

If you consistently connect your camera to just one serial port, select the appropriate port number, rather than AUTO, to speed processing.

Speed

If Serial is selected as the port type, clicking the arrow button to the right of this field displays a list of supported speeds (data-transfer rates). This text box is disabled while USB is selected as the port type.

Accepts any changes to port settings and closes the Digital Camera Settings dialog box.
