4.Turn off the camera and then use the USB cable that comes with the camera to connect it to your Macintosh.

USB cable (included with camera)

Large connector

USB port

Terminal cover

[USB/AV] port

Small connector

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 will turn on automatically and battery charging will start (page 19).

•The camera may not turn on automatically in the case of certain computer models or connection conditions. If this happens, press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn on the camera.

•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.

•The first time you connect the camera to your computer with the USB cable, an error message may appear on your computer. If this happens, disconnect and then reconnect the USB cable.

5.Double-click the camera’s drive icon.

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.

6.Drag the “DCIM” folder to the folder to which you want to copy it.

7.After the copy operation is complete, drag the drive icon to Trash.
