USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER

• Insert the plug as far as it will go into the connector.

Failure to do so can result in poor communication or

malfunction.

• Take care when connecting the USB cable to the camera

or your computer. USB ports and cable plugs are shaped

for proper positioning.

Turn on the camera.

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

for the correct steps you need to perform to disconnect the

camera from the Macintosh safely.
