Connecting to a Computer
Your Nikon digital camera is equipped with an IEEE 1394 interface for connection to
a computer. With Nikon View 4 installed on your computer, you can view photo-
gr aphs on the computer monitor or copy them to disk. Using Nikon Capture 2
camera control software, you can adjust camera settings remotely and prepare pho-
tographs for printing or use in a commercial production work-flow.
Before You Begin
Before connecting the camera to a computer:
• Be sure that you have completed installation of the necessary software and have
read the software manuals thoroughly
• Check that your system satisfies the requirements listed in the software manuals
• Turn the camera off and ensure that a battery is inserted or the camera con-
nected to an AC adapter
To ensure a continuous supply of power while the camera is connected, we recom-
mend that you use an AC adapter (available separately).

For information on connecting IEEE 1394 devices, see the documentation pro-
vided with your computer or IEEE 1394 expansion board or card. IEEE 1394
devices can be connected or disconnected when the computer and the device
are still on (so-called “hot plug” or “hot connect/disconnect”) without the need
to turn off either device or restar t the computer system.
