Connecting to a Computer
Photographs taken with the COOLPIX 990 can be viewed on
your computer monitor or copied to disk for long-term stor-
age or editing. You can connect your camera directly to your
computer via the UC-E1 Universal Serial Bus (USB) or the
optional SC-EW3/SC-EM3 serial cables and browse the con-
tents of the memory card using the Nikon View software pro-
vided with your camera, or insert the memory card in the
computer’s card slot or card drive, where it will function as a
disk.
Using Nikon View
Before you start
Before using Nikon View, read the documentation provided.
The manuals for Nikon View are divided into two parts, both
on the reference CD provided with your camera:
Quick Start Guide (HTML)
This guide, which can be viewed with Internet Explorer ver-
sion 3.0 or later, or with Netscape Navigator version 3.0 or
later, covers installation. To view:
• insert the reference CD into the CD-ROM drive
• double-click the QKSTART.html icon in the root di-
rectory of the CD
Reference Manual (PDF)
The reference CD includes separate reference manuals for
Macintosh and Windows versions of Nikon View. These
manuals provide complete operating instructions. Before
they can be viewed, you will need to install Adobe Acrobat
Reader version 4.0 or later. Installers for six language ver-
sions may be found on the reference CD; to install, open
the folder for the language of your choice and double-click
the installer icon. Once installation is complete, you can
view the on-line documentation by clicking the INDEX.pdf
icon in the root directory of the reference CD.
After reading the documentation, install Nikon View as in-
structed in the Quick Start Guide. You are now ready to con-
nect the camera to your computer.
If you are unable to view the Quick Start Guide, refer to the README.txt
text file in the root directory of the reference CD. This file provides
system requirements and basic installation instructions.
