Viewing images using a computer

You can view data recorded with your camera on a computer. This section describes the general method for viewing images on a computer and installing the driver into a computer. Be sure to also see the operation manuals for your computer and application software. To view images on the CD-RW using a CD-ROM drive or CD- R drive, the drive must conform to the MultiRead type. Whether your drive conforms to the MultiRead type or not, consult the drive manufacturer.
