Connecting to other equipment

Connecting to a PC

You can acquire recorded pictures to a PC by connecting the camera and the PC.

You can easily print out or mail the pictures you have imported. Use of the

PHOTOfunSTUDIO-viewer-bundled software on the CD-ROM (supplied) is a convenient way of doing this.

Preparations:

Turn on the camera and the PC.

Remove the card before using the pictures in the built-in memory.

1 Connect the camera to a PC via the USB connection cable A (supplied).

AUSB connection cable (supplied)

Check the directions of the connectors, and plug them straight in or unplug them straight out.

(Otherwise the connectors may be bent out of shape which will cause trouble.)

BAlign the marks, and insert.

CAC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP; optional)

Use a battery with sufficient battery power or the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP; optional). If the remaining battery power becomes low while the camera and the PC are communicating, the status indicator blinks and the alarm beeps.

Refer to Disconnecting the USB connection cable safely(P84) before disconnecting the USB connection cable. Otherwise, data may be destroyed.

2 Move 3/4 to select [PC], and then press [MENU/

SET].

If [USB MODE] (P24) is set to [PC] in the [SETUP] menu in advance, the camera will be automatically connected to the PC without displaying the [USB MODE] selection screen. Since there is no need to set this each time you connect to the PC, it is convenient.

When the camera has been connected to the PC with

[USB MODE] set to [PictBridge(PTP)], a message may appear on the PC’s screen. Select [Cancel] to close the screen, and disconnect the camera from the PC. Then set [USB MODE] to [PC] again.
