Connecting the Camera to a Serial Port
Before attaching the camera to the computer’s serial port, be sure that both
the camera and computer are off. Open the cover that protects your
camera’s SCSI and serial connectors (the cover is labeled “DIGITAL”) and
connect the serial cable as shown below. Be sure to use only the cable
provided with your COOLPIX 300.
Attach the other end of the cable to the computer’s serial port.
Note: The COOLPIX 300 comes with a 9-pin RS-232C serial cable for
connection to a male 9-pin serial connector, standard on many IBM-
compatible computers, and a mini DIN 8-pin RS-232/RS-422 serial cable
for connection to Macintosh computers. Use the cable appropriate to your
computer.
Once you have connected your camera to the computer’s serial port, turn
on the camera and other peripheral devices and then turn on the
computer. If you have installed the Nikon View software provided with
your COOLPIX 300, you will now be able to use the software to view the
contents of the camera’s memory or to transfer images and recordings to
disk for long-term storage. Refer to the Nikon View User’s Manual.
