Nikon Digital Cameras

Preference: Changing Camera Type, Port and Rate Settings

Remote Connection

Type

Options available in the Type option vary depending on the

camera connected. If you’ve selected Nikon CoolPix, you

can choose from Serial or USB (though USB is a select-

able option, it is only functional when the COOLPIX 990 is

connected to your computer’s USB port). If you've selected

Nikon D1, the Remote Connection Type indicator will read

1394 (IEEE 1394 interface).

Port

If Serial (SC-EW3 cable sold separately) is selected as the

port type, clicking the arrow button to the right of this text

box displays a list of supported ports. Select the port to

which the camera is connected from among AUTO, COM1,

COM2, COM3, and COM4. If you choose AUTO, the

computer automatically detects the port to which the cam-

era is connected. This text box is disabled while USB is

selected as the port type.

If you consistently connect your camera to just one serial port, select the

appropriate port number, rather than AUTO, to speed processing.

Speed

If Serial is selected as the port type, clicking the arrow

button to the right of this field displays a list of supported

speeds (data-transfer rates). This text box is disabled while

USB is selected as the port type.

Accepts any changes to port settings and closes the Digital

Camera Settings dialog box.

Cancel

Closes the Digital Camera Settings dialog box without chang-

ing port settings.
