Connecting to a PC

The following steps differ depending on the PC’s operating system (Windows XP/Vista and Mac OS X case)

When your PC recognizes the camera automatically, FinePixViewer automatically starts up and the Save Image Wizard window (Save Image dialog box) appears. Follow the instructions provided on screen to save the images. To proceed without saving the images, click the [Cancel] button.

CAUTION

When there are many images stored on a Memory Card, it takes a while to display on the screen of your PC. Also, it may take a while to import images or you may be unable to save images. In this case, use an Image Memory Card Reader.

MEMO

•Images in the camera cannot be seen directly with FinePixViewer. Save images on a PC.

•If you cancel saving by clicking the [Cancel] button, press ON/OFF to turn off the camera and then disconnect it from the PC.

•When the camera is connected to your PC, FinePixViewer automatically starts up by the function of Exif Launcher, which is installed in FinePixViewer.

Proceed to “Using FinePixViewer” (➝p.129). CAUTION (Mac OS X)

If FinePixViewer does not start up automatically, the software may not be installed correctly. Set your PC again after disconnecting the camera and restart.

CAUTION (Mac OS X)

Note on disconnecting the camera

•Close all files in the camera, and make sure the camera is not exchanging data.

•The camera and PC may be exchanging data even when [Copying] disappears from your PC screen, especially in the case of copying large data amounts. Do not disconnect the USB cable (included), immediately after this message has disappeared. Always check that the indicator lamp is off first before disconnecting.
