Saving Your Pictures

You can connect your camera to your computer and
download your photos once you are finished taking them.
See the sections below for information.

Connecting the Camera to Your Computer

Note the following before you start:

If you have the optional AC adapter, you can conserve
battery life by using it when you connect the camera to

your computer. See Appendix A in your User’s Guide for
instructions and ordering information.

The camera shuts off automatically after 5 minutes of
inactivity when the camera is connected to your

computer. To turn the camera back on, press down the
shutter button or turn the camera dial

Off

and then

On

again. (You can change the auto shut-off time period if
you want. See pages 6-6 to 6-9 in your User’s Guide for
instructions.)

When you connect the camera, make sure your system is
not exposed to sources of electromagnetic interference,

such as stereo speakers or the base units of cordless
telephones.

Connecting to a Windows PC

Make sure you have the serial cable that came with your
camera. Before you start, turn off the camera and your
computer.

1

Find a serial port on the back of your computer. You
may have two serial ports labeled COM1 and COM2, or
the ports may be labeled with icons. If you have two

serial ports available, use COM1 (port 1) to connect
your camera.

NOTE

If you have a 25-pin serial port, you can use a 9- to 25-pin

adapter.
