Connecting via a USB Port

• On a Windows system, the USB interface can only be used with the USB ports on systems purchased with Windows 98 or 2000 preinstalled. The USB ports on systems upgraded from Windows 3.1 or 95 to Windows 98 or 2000 will not operate correctly. The same applies to upgrades from Windows 98 to 2000.

On a Macintosh system, the USB interface can only be used with Power Macintosh NEW G3/G4, PowerBook G3, iMac and iBook models with built-in USB ports.

Connect the USB cable directly to the camera and computer. A connection through a hub may not operate correctly.

Excluding USB mice and keyboards, connecting other USB devices at the same as the camera may lead to malfunctions. If this happens, detach all the USB devices and then reconnect only the camera.

Do not connect two or more cameras to the same computer at once. A camera malfunction may result.

Do not place a Windows computer into standby mode or a Macintosh computer into sleep mode when the camera is connected via a USB port. If, by chance, this occurs, leave the camera connected to the USB port and try to revive the computer. Some computers cannot be properly restored from standby or sleep mode when the USB cable is subsequently detached. Please consult the manual for your computer regarding the standby or sleep mode.
