Your Nikon digital camera stores pictures as digital data. Instead of making the trip to a developer and getting negatives, you can simply copy your pic- tures to a computer for long-term storage using the Nikon View 5 software provided with your camera. Once transferred to your computer, your pictures can be viewed, printed, sent to your acquaintances via e-mail, or saved to a Zip disk or other removable media for delivery to a photofinisher. Any copies stored on the memory card after transfer can be deleted to make way for new pictures, which you can then add to the growing digital photo album on your computer.

Before You Begin: Installing Nikon View 5

Before copying pictures to your computer, you will need to install Nikon View 5, an application that allows you to transfer pictures from the camera memory card to a computer hard disk and view them on the computer monitor.

	Pre-installed versions of Windows XP Home Edition, Windows
Windows	XP Professional, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows
	Millennium Edition (Me), or Windows 98 Second Edition (SE).
Macintosh	Mac OS 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, Mac OS X (10.1.2 or later). Only models
	with built-in USB ports supported.

The first step to installing Nikon View 5 is to read the installation instructions. These are included on the reference CD provided with your camera.
