Connecting to a Computer

The camera can be connected to a computer using the supplied USB cable. The supplied PictureProject software can then be used to copy photographs to the computer, where they can be organized, retouched, and printed.

Before Connecting the Camera

Install PictureProject from the supplied installer CD. To ensure that data transfer is not inter- rupted, be sure the camera battery is fully charged. If in doubt, charge the battery before connecting the camera or use an optional EH-5 AC adapter and EP-5 AC adapter connector ( 103).

Before connecting the camera, select the USB item in the camera setup menu and choose a USB option as described below.
