Mass Storage Device. MSD is a name given to a USB product (like a digital camera) that works with your computer as if it was a removable disk. In essence the computer “sees” your camera as if it were a floppy disk or a CD ROM. The concept is simple. Think of the memory inside your camera as if it were a floppy disk (or a Zip disk, or a CD ROM). Think of the camera as a “reader’.

When you connect an MSD device to a computer it will appear as a new “drive.” Go to My Computer and observe the various drives. For example:

•3-1/2” floppy drive (A:)

•Local disk (C:)

•CD ROM (D:)

•Removable disk (E:) This is the Camera Memory

PC Camera. The 3765 allows you to view live video from your camera on your computer using optional (third-party) video software. This mode is supported on Windows PCs only.
