CONNECTING TO A COMPUTER

The “Connecting to a computer” section explains how to connect the camera to your computer

using the USB cable (IEEE 1394 cable) and describes the functions you can use once the camera

and computer are connected.

If the power cuts out during data transmission, the data will not be transmitted correctly. Always use the

AC power adapter when connecting the camera to a computer.

Refer to Software Quick Start Guide the first time you connect the

camera to your computer.

Install the software first. Do not connect the camera with

the computer before installing all the software.

CD-ROM

(Software for FinePix)

hIf your PC supports USB 2.0 (High-speed USB), data can be transferred faster than with previous

USB versions.

●

This camera does not support IEEE 1394b (FireWire 800). Use IEEE 1394 (FireWire 400).

This mode provides a simple way to read images from a media and store images onto a media. The

USB or IEEE 1394 (FireWire) interface connection can be used for high-speed file transfer (➡P.115).

To connect via an IEEE 1394 port, check that the interface is OHCI compliant and then refer to the

table below to check whether it is supported by your operating system.

For information on taking pictures using IEEE 1394, refer to the Hyper Utility Software HS-V2

Ver.3.0 (or later) Quick Start Guide.

Always use the cable provided with your camera. If you use

other cable, your camera may not work correctly.

●

Make sure that the USB cable (mini-B) or IEEE 1394 cable is

connected correctly and is pushed in.

●

Do not connect the USB cable (mini-B) and the IEEE 1394

cable at the same time.
