2The camera’s E (d) button cannot be used to transfer pictures when the memory card write-protect switch is in the “lock” position. Use the [Transfer] button in PictureProject. To use E (d) on the camera, unlock by sliding the switch to the “write” position before transferring pictures.

If [PTP] is selected, the Found New Hardware Wizard will be displayed when the camera is connected to the computer. Select [Cancel], close the window, and disconnect the camera from the computer.
