Making sure that the 6 mark on the camera is aligned with the 4 mark of the USB cable connector, connect the cable to the camera.

The camera does not draw power over the USB cable. Check the battery level before connecting and make sure it is not too low.

Make sure that you insert the cable connector into the USB/AV port until you feel it click securely into place. Failure to insert the connector fully can result in poor communication or malfunction.

Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, you

still will be able to see the metal part of the connector as shown in the illustration.

• When connecting the USB cable to a USB port, make sure you align the connector correctly with the port.

Your computer may not be able to recognize the camera

if you connect via a USB hub. Always connect directly to the computer’s USB port.

5.Turn on the camera.

The camera’s back lamp will light green at this time. In this mode, your Macintosh recognizes the memory card loaded in the camera (or the camera’s built-in memory if it does not have a memory card loaded) as a drive. The appearance of the drive icon depends on the Mac OS version you are using.
