Connecting to a Computer

This section describes how to use the supplied UC-E4 USB cable to
connect the camera to a computer. Before connecting the camera,
install Nikon Transfer and ViewNX from the supplied Software
Suite CD (see the Install Guide for more information). Nikon
Transfer starts automatically when the camera is connected and is
used to copy photographs to the computer, where they can be
viewed using ViewNX (Nikon Transfer can also be used to back up
photographs and embed information in photographs as they are
transferred, while ViewNX can be used to sort photographs,
convert images to different file formats, and perform simple
editing on NEF (RAW) photographs). To ensure that data transfer is
not interrupted, be sure the camera battery is fully charged. If in
doubt, charge the battery before use or use an EH-5a or EH-5 AC
adapter (available separately).
