Viewing Pictures on a Computer

Using the UC-E6 USB cable and PictureProject software, you can view photo- graphs and movies on a computer. Before pictures can be transferred (copied) to your computer, PictureProject must be installed. For more information on installing PictureProject and transferring pictures to a computer, see the docu- mentation on the reference CD and the Quick Start Guide.
