Camera-Computer Connection

Pressing the cradle’s [USB] button puts it into the USB mode, which is indicated by the USB lamp lighting green. In this mode, your computer 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 removable disk.

From now on, you will not have to perform steps 3 through 5 in the above procedure when you connect the camera to your computer (unless you change the camera’s USB settings for some reason).

•With some Windows setups, you may see a guidance message appear on your display to let you know about the new removable disk. If this happens, simply close the guidance message dialog box.

IMPORTANT!

•Never disconnect the USB cable or remove the camera from the USB cradle without exiting the USB mode first. Doing so can corrupt image data. See “Removing the Camera from the USB Cradle” on page 224 for the correct steps you need to perform to remove the camera from the cradle safely.
