USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER

Camera-Macintosh Connection

Pressing the camera’s [ON/OFF] button puts it into the USB

mode, which is indicated by the camera’s operation lamp lighting

green. In this mode, your Macintosh recognizes the memory

card loaded in the camera (or the camera’s built-in memory if it

does not have a memory card loaded) as a drive.

The appearance of the drive icon depends on the Mac OS

version you are using.

From now on, you will not have to perform steps 3 through 5 in

the above procedure when you connect the camera to your

Macintosh (unless you change the camera’s USB settings for

some reason).

IMPORTANT!

• Never disconnect the USB cable without exiting the USB

mode first. Doing so can corrupt image data. See

Disconnect the camera from the Macintosh” on page 235

for the correct steps you need to perform to disconnect the

camera from the Macintosh safely.

Connecting the Camera to Your Macintosh
after the First Time

Since you need to configure menu settings only the first time you

connect the camera to your Macintosh, later connections are

much simpler.

1.

Turn off the camera, and connect the USB
cable that comes bundled with the camera to
the camera and your Macintosh.

2.

Turn on the camera.

Pressing the camera’s [ON/OFF] button puts it into the USB

mode, which is indicated by the camera’s operation lamp

lighting green.
