When connecting your camera directly to the computer, make sure that you turn the
camera on and set it to the mode for transferring images (PC, PTP, Normal, or another
mode, depending on the type of camera). Some cameras automatically select the
correct transfer mode when connected to a computer. See your camera’s manual for
specific instructions.
