Flowchart
•When connecting the camera to the computer, make sure that there is sufficient remaining battery power. When connected (transmitting) to the computer, the camera does not enter the sleep mode nor will the camera’s power turn off automatically. Depending on the camera model, when the battery power runs out or the internal temperature rises, the camera may stop operating automatically. This could cause the computer to malfunction, and any image data (file) being transmitted may be lost. Be careful when downloading files for a long period of time. Use the AC adapter (optional) when downloading files.
•If you connect or disconnect the AC adapter when the camera is connected to the computer and is running on battery power, it may result in the loss of image data on the card or cause a malfunction in the computer. Before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter, disconnect the camera from the computer and make sure that the camera is turned off.
•To avoid computer malfunctions, do not turn off the camera when the camera is connected to a computer.
•If the camera is connected to the computer via a USB hub, operation may not be stable if there are any compatibility problems between the computer and the hub. In such cases, do not use the hub and connect the camera directly to the computer.
•You can view images using: graphics applications that support the JPEG file format (Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc.); Internet browsers (Netscape Communicator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, etc.); CAMEDIA Master software; or other software. For details on using commercial graphics applications, refer to their instruction manuals.
•QuickTime is needed for playing back movies. QuickTime is included on the provided software CD.
•If you want to process images, make sure to download them to your computer first. Depending on the software, image files may be destroyed if the images are processed (rotated, etc.) while they are on the card.
