Viewing and Storing Images on a Computer

You can connect the camera to your computer in order to view and store images (snapshot and movie files).

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.

NOTE

You also can use your computer’s card slot (if it has one) or a commercially available card reader to access image files directly from the camera’s memory card. For details, see the user documentation that comes with your computer.
