CONNECTING THE REMOTE CAMERA
Before the camera can be connected to a computer, the remote camera driver must be installed, see page 98. A fully charged battery should be used when the camera is connected to a computer. The use of the AC adapter (sold separately) is recommended over the use of the battery. For users with Windows 98SE, the USB driver must be installed before connecting the camera to a computer (p.
86).
