Basic Operations
• If you are using Windows 98 or Windows 98SE, install the USB dri vers before connecting
the USB cable. ( p.2-12)
• If you are using Windows Me, Windows 2000 or Windows XP, no driver installation is
needed. Connect the USB cable without installing the drivers.
• To view images on your PC, you must have image-viewing software already installed. (To
play movies, QuickTime 4.1 or later must be installed.)
• To view movies that have a large number of pixels or a high frame rate, first copy the
movie to your PC and then play the copy of the movie. If you use your PC to play back a
movie that is stored on a memory card loaded in the camera, the data transfer rate may be
too slow for the movie to play smoothly.
• You cannot check images on your PC unless there is a memory card in the camera.
