VIEWING IMAGES ON A COMPUTER

Using the Camera with a Macintosh

Computer
The following are the general steps for viewing and copying
files from a Macintosh.
You can find details about each operation in the
procedures that follow below. Note that you should also
refer to the documentation that comes with your Macintosh
for other information about USB connections, etc.
IMPORTANT!
This camera does not support operation with a
computer running Mac OS 8.5.1 or lower, or Mac OS X
10.0.
1. If your operating system is anything other than
Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X, install the USB driver onto
your Macintosh.
You need to perform this step only once, the first
time you connect to your computer. If you are
running Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X, you do not need to
install the USB driver.
2. Use the USB cradle to establish a connection between
the camera and your Macintosh.
3. View and copy the images you want.
USB Connection Precautions
Be sure to read the documentation that comes with your
computer for other important information about USB
connections.
Be sure to connect the AC adaptor to the USB cradle to
supply power to the camera.
USB data communication is performed regardless of the
current setting of the camera’s mode selector.
Do not leave the same image displayed on your computer
screen for a long time. Doing so can cause the image to
“burn in” on the screen.
Never disconnect the USB cable, or perform any camera
or USB cradle operation while data communication is in
progress. Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.
