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 e-mail the pictures you have imported. Use of the “PHOTOfunSTUDIO” bundled software on the CD-ROM (supplied) is a convenient way of doing this.

•Read the separate operating instructions for the supplied software for more information about the software in the CD-ROM (supplied) and how to install it.

Preparations:

Turn on the camera and the PC.

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

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.

•Use a battery with sufficient battery power or the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP; optional) and DC coupler (DMW-DCC4; 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” (P105) before disconnecting the USB connection cable. Otherwise, data may be destroyed.

(supplied).

•Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one.

Use of cables other than the supplied USB connection cable may cause malfunction.

Press 3/4 to select [PC], and then press [MENU/SET].

•If [USB MODE] (P26) 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.
