USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER

Transferring Files to a Computer

The CD-ROM that comes bundled with your camera con- tains a copy of Photo Loader and a USB driver. This soft- ware lets you transfer the contents of the camera’s memory to your computer quickly and easily. Photo Loader and the Photohands application can also be used for high-level im- age management and editing.

For information about using Photo Loader and Photohands, see their user documentation files (PDF) on the bundled CD-ROM.

Transferring Files Over a USB Connec- tion

Connecting the bundled USB cradle to a computer that is equipped with a USB port makes it possible to transfer files to a computer simply by placing the camera onto the cradle.

Note that you need to install a USB driver on your computer (page 81). Once you use the cradle to establish a USB con- nection, the computer sees the camera as an external stor- age device (card reader/writer).

If you plan to transfer files from the camera’s built-in memory to your computer, make sure there is no memory card loaded in the camera. If there is, remove the memory card from the camera before you place it onto the cradle.

NOTE

Do not install USB driver from the CD-ROM onto a computer running Windows XP, or Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X. With these operating systems, USB communi- cation becomes enabled simply by connecting the camera to the computer with the USB cable.
