3.Double-click the image file you want to view.

An image that was rotated on the camera will be displayed on your computer screen in its original (unrotated) orientation.

Never use your computer to modify, delete, move, or rename any image files that are in the camera’s built-in memory or on its memory card.

Doing so can cause problems with the camera’s image management data, which will make it impossible to play back images on the camera and can drastically alter remaining memory capacity. Whenever you want to modify, delete, move, or rename an image, do so only on images that are stored on your computer.

IMPORTANT!

Never unplug the USB cable, or operate the camera while viewing or storing images. Doing so can cause data to become corrupted.
