Getting Pictures into Your Computer

When you’re finished taking pictures, you can connect the camera to your USB-enabled Windows 98, Windows 2000,

Windows Me, or Macintosh system and transfer the images. If you have the optional universal AC adapter, you can extend battery life by using it when you connect the camera to your computer.

Follow these steps to connect the camera to your system:

1. Locate the USB cable that came with your camera. Plug the connector on one end of the cable into the USB port on your computer, or into a port on a USB hub.

NOTE

Although you can use a USB hub, it’s recommended that you connect the camera directly to the computer’s USB port.

2. Open the connector cover on the side of the camera. Then insert the connector on the other end of the USB cable into the camera’s interface port.

❏ If necessary, clean the battery contacts with a dry cloth.
