even when the plug is inserted correctly.

•Take care when connecting the USB cable to the camera or your computer. USB ports and cable

plugs are shaped for proper positioning.

6.Turn on the camera.

Camera-Macintosh Connection

Pressing the camera’s [ON/OFF] button puts it into the USB mode, which is indicated by the camera’s operation lamp lighting green. 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.

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

IMPORTANT!

•Never disconnect the USB cable without exiting the USB mode first. Doing so can corrupt image data. See “Disconnect the camera from the Macintosh” on page 235 for the correct steps you need to perform to disconnect the camera from the Macintosh safely.
