Basic Operations
• You do not need to install the USB drivers on a Macintosh computer. Connect the USB
cable without installing any drivers.
• To view images on your Macintosh, 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 Macintosh unless there is a memory card in the camera.
