Downloading Images to the Computer
Begin by downloading the images to your computer. The downloading procedure is slightly different according to whether you are using a camera to computer connection (see below) or a memory card reader
.
You may not be able to download images when the camera is connected to a computer if there are a large number of images (approximately 1000) on the memory card. Use a memory card reader to download in that case.
Camera to Computer Connection

• RAW images or JPEG images recorded at the same time as RAW images may not be downloadable with some software programs or operating systems.
• Movies may not download correctly if the file size or software program is incompatible.
• Images shot in the vertical orientation may be downloaded in the horizontal position.
• The protection setting for images protected in the camera may be lost when transferred to the computer.
