Copying images to
your computer

— For Windows users

Recommended computer
environment

OS:

Microsoft Windows 98, Windows

98SE, Windows 2000 Professional,
Windows Millennium Edition, Windows
XP Home Edition, or Windows XP
Professional
The above OS must be installed at the
factory. Operation is not assured in an
environment upgraded to the operating
systems described above or in a multi-boot
environment.

CPU:

MMX Pentium 200 MHz or faster

USB connector:

Provided as standard

Display:

800 × 600 dots or more

High Color (16-bit color, 65,000 colors) or
more

If you connect two or more USB equipment to
a single computer at the same time, some
equipment, including your camera, may not
operate depending on the type of USB
equipment.

Operations are not guaranteed when using a
USB hub.

Operations are not guaranteed for all the
recommended computer environments
mentioned above.

This camera is compatible with USB 2.0. The
USB 2.0 interface is completely compatible
with USB 1.1, so USB 1.1 equipment can also
be used.

Use with a USB 2.0 (High Speed) compatible
computer environment allows high-speed data
transfer (approximately 1.5 times faster than
the conventional Sony model DSC-F707).

USB mode

There are two modes for a USB connection,
[NORMAL] and [PTP]* modes. The
factory setting is the [NORMAL] mode.

* Compatible only with Windows XP. When

connected to a computer, only the data in the
folder selected by the camera is copied to the
computer. To select a folder, perform the
procedure from step 2 on page 66.

Communication with your
computer

When your computer resumes from the
suspend or sleep mode, communication
between your camera and your computer
may not recover at the same time.

When a USB connector is not
provided on your computer

When neither a USB connector nor a
“Memory Stick” slot is provided, you can
copy images using an additional device. See
the Sony Website for details.
