Which connection?

Which connection should you use to transfer pictures between your camera and computer? That depends on which connections your computer supports. The following sections will help you determine the connections that your PC supports.

You specify the type of connection you are using through the Camera Properties software. For information on how to choose a connection method, refer to Chapter 5, “Setting camera properties.”

Operating System	Connection Option
WINDOWS 95	Serial, IrDA 1
WINDOWS 95a
WINDOWS 95B (also known as OSR2)	Serial, IrDA, USB 2
WINDOWS NT 4.0	Serial

1WINDOWS 95 and WINDOWS 95a require an IrDA Software Patch that is available

from MICROSOFT’s Web site. Go to http://www.microsoft.com and then search for “irda.” (Please read and understand all the instructions provided by MICROSOFT before proceeding.)

2WINDOWS 95B requires the MICROSOFT USB Supplement. Contact your PC vendor or manufacturer for the Supplement.

The IrDA driver for WINDOWS 95B is either preloaded on your system or available on your original diskettes or CD-ROM.

To determine which version of WINDOWS 95 is installed on your PC:

1. Click Start ->Settings ->Control Panel .

2. Double-click the System icon.

3. View the top right of the General tab which indicates the installed operating system: 4.00.950 indicates WINDOWS 95 (basic)

RS-232 Serial

Although not fast (maximum data transfer rate of 115 kb/sec), an RS-232 serial connection is supported by the vast majority of PC computers. The serial port option is available on both the WINDOWS 95 and WINDOWS NT 4.0 Operating Systems.
