After using the USB cable to establish a USB connection between the camera and your computer, you can use
your computer to view images in file memory and copy images to your computer’s hard disk or other storage
media. To do this, it is necessary to first install the USB driver (stored on the supplied CD-ROM) into your
computer.
USING THE CAMERA WITH A WINDOWS COMPUTER
To view and copy images and/or movies from your camera to a computer, drivers and software must be
installed first. For detailed instructions on driver and software installation, refer to the section ‘Install the
Software Driver’.
IMPORTANT!
• Low battery power can cause the camera to turn OFF suddenly during data communication. It is
recommended to use an AC adapter (optional) to power the camera during data communication.
• Do not try to establish a connection between the camera and computer before installing the USB driver
into the computer.
• If you want to transfer files from the camera’s built-in memory to a computer, make sure there is no
memory card loaded in the camera before connecting the USB cable.
USING A MEMORY CARD TO TRANSFER IMAGES TO A COMPUTER
The procedures in this section describe how to transfer images from the camera to your computer using a
memory card.
Using a Computer with a Built-in SD Memory Card Slot
Insert the SD memory card directly into the slot. (Mind the positioning/insertion direction; forcefully pushing a
memory card into a slot can damage the card and/or the computer’s card slot. For instructions on
positioning/insertion direction, refer to the user documentation accompanying the computer.)
Using a Computer with a Built-in PC Card Slot
Use a commercially available PC card adapter (for an SD memory card/MMC). For full details, see the user
documentation that comes with the PC card adapter and your computer.
