Minolta A1 instruction manual DATA-TRANSFER Mode, System Requirements

DATA-TRANSFER MODE

Read this section carefully before connecting the camera to a computer. Details on using and installing the DiMAGE Viewer software are found in the supplied software manual. The DiMAGE man- uals do not cover the basic operation of computers or their operating systems; please refer to the manual supplied with your computer.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

For the camera to be connected directly to the computer and used as a mass-storage device, the computer must be equipped with a USB port as a standard interface. The computer and the operat- ing system must be guaranteed by their manufacturers to support USB interface. The following oper- ating systems are compatible with the camera:

Windows 98, 98SE, Me, 2000 Professional, and XP

Macintosh OS 9.0 ~ 9.2.2 and Mac OS X 10.13 ~ 10.1.5 and 10.2.1 ~ 10.2.5

Compatibility with Windows XP is with the home or professional editions only. Check the Minolta web site for the latest compatibility information:

North America: http://www.minoltausa.com

Europe: http://www.minoltasupport.com

Users with Windows 98 or 98 second edition will need to install the driver software on the included DiMAGE software CD-ROM (p. 148). No special driver software is required for other Windows or Macintosh operating systems.

Customers who have bought a previous DiMAGE digital camera and have installed the Windows 98 driver software must repeat the installation procedure. The updated version of the driver software included on the supplied DiMAGE software CD-ROM is required for the operation of the DiMAGE A1 with a computer. The new software will have no affect on the performance of older DiMAGE cameras.

A remote camera driver is supplied in the Windows edition of the DiMAGE Viewer CD-ROM. This driver is not compatible with this camera. When using the DiMAGE Capture software (sold separate- ly), the supplied ferrite core should be attached to the USB cable, see page 161.
