Connecting to a Computer

TO CONNECTING COMPUTER A

Your Nikon digital camera is equipped with an IEEE 1394 interface, allowing it to be connected to a computer via an IEEE 1394 cable (available separately). Using Nikon View, you can transfer photographs to your computer and list the transferred images as small thumbnail previews, perform minor enhancements, and print them. In addition to these functions, Nikon Capture 3 (available separately) supports more advanced image editing options, including batch processing of multiple photographs.

BeforeYou Begin

Before connecting the camera to a computer:

Be sure that you have completed installation of the necessary software and have read the software manuals thoroughly

Check that your system satisfies the requirements listed in the software manuals

Turn the camera off and ensure that a battery is inserted or the camera con-

nected to an AC adapter

To ensure a continuous supply of power while the camera is connected, we recommend that you use an AC adapter (available separately).

Connecting the Camera to a Computer

1When connecting the camera to a computer via the IEEE 1394 interface, use an IEEE 1394 cable (available separately). Open the cover protecting the camera’s IEEE 1394 connector and connect the devices as shown below.

For information on connecting IEEE 1394 devices, see the documentation provided with your computer or IEEE 1394 expansion board or card. IEEE 1394 devices can be connected or disconnected when the computer and the device are still on (so-called “hot plug” or “hot connect/disconnect”) without the need to turn off either device or restart the computer system.
