Downloading Images to a Computer

Downloading Directly from a CF Card

Images can be loaded from a CF card to a computer if you are using a notebook computer, a PC card reader or a CF card reader. PC card adapter (PCMCIA adapter), sold separately, is required to use a PC card reader.

Inserting the CF Card

PC Card Reader

1 Eject the CF card from the camera, and insert it into the PC card adapter.

2 Insert the PC card adapter into the computer’s PC card slot or PC card reader.

•Some computers or PC card readers require the power to be off when the PC card adapter is inserted into the PC card slot. Since this requirement varies between models, please consult the manual for your equipment.
