Connecting to a Computer

Data Transfer and Camera Control

The supplied UC-E4 USB cable can be used to connect the camera to a
computer. Once the camera is connected, the supplied PictureProject soft-
ware can be used to copy photographs to the computer, where they can be
browsed, viewed, and retouched. The camera can also be used with Nikon
Capture 4 version 4.2 or later (available separately), which supports batch
processing and more advanced image editing options and can be used to
control the camera directly from the computer.

Before Connecting the Camera

Install the necessary software after reading the manuals and reviewing the
system requirements. 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-5 AC adapter (available separately).

Before connecting the camera, set the USB option
in the setup menu (

165) according to the com-

puter operating system and whether the camera
is being controlled using Nikon Capture 4 Camera
Control or photographs are being transferred to
the computer using PictureProject:
