■Saving an Image on Your Macintosh

In order to work on an image to put it into an album, you must first save it to your Macintosh. To save a camera image to your Macintosh, you must first establish a connection between them via the camera’s USB cradle.

•For information about connecting to a Macintosh, see “Connecting the Camera to Your Macintosh after the First Time” on page 242.

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

2.Drop the “DCIM” folder into the folder where

you want to store it.

This copies the “DCIM” folder to the folder on your Macintosh.

IMPORTANT!

•Never use your computer to modify, delete, move, or rename any image files that are in the camera’s built-in memory or 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 have been copied to your Macintosh.

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