Step 3: Downloading Image and Video Files
When the camera is turned on and connected to your computer, it is considered to be a disk drive, just like a floppy disk or CD.
You can download (transfer) images by copying them from the "removable disk" ("unlabeled" disk on a Macintosh) to your
computer hard drive.
Windows -
Open the "removable disk" and subsequent folders by double clicking them. Your images are inside the folder(s). Select the
images that you want, then choose "Copy" from the "Edit" menu. Open the destination location (folder) and choose "Paste" from
the "Edit" menu. You may also drag and drop image files from the camera to a desired location.
Macintosh and Desktop/LX --
Open the “unlabeled” disk icon, and the destination location on your hard disk. Drag and drop from the camera to the desired
destination.
Note:
It is recommended that you use an AC power adapter for the camera while transferring images and video clips from the
camera to your computer since camera power may be cut off unexpectedly if the batteries run out.
Memory card users may prefer to use a memory card reader (highly recommended).
