Connecting the camera to a computer

Confirm the battery has sufficient power before connecting the camera to a computer; the full-battery indicator should be displayed on the monitor. The use of the AC adapter (sold separately) is recommended over the use of the battery. For users with Windows 98 or 98 Second Edition, read the section on page 99 on how to install the necessary USB driver before connecting the camera to a computer.

Initializing USB connection.

1.Start up the computer. The computer must be on before connect- ing the camera.

2.Insert the memory card into the camera. To change the memory card while the camera is connected to a computer, see page 106.

3.Slide open the card chamber door. Attach the smaller plug of the USB cable to the camera. The triangular mark on the plug should face the back of the camera. Make sure the plug is firmly attached.

4.Attach the other end of the USB cable to the computer’s USB port. Make sure the plug is firmly attached. The camera should be connected directly to the computer’s USB port. Attaching the camera to a USB hub may prevent proper operation.

5.Press the main switch to turn on the camera. The USB connection is made automatically; a screen appears to indicate the operation. The monitor turns off when the connection has been made. If the USB connection is not made, disconnect the camera and restart the computer. Repeat the connection procedure above.
