Erasing Pictures
It’s best to erase the pictures from the USB CompactFlash
card after you re-install it in your camera using the camera’s
Reformat mode (see page 1-7 for instructions). However,
you can also erase pictures from the card while it’s connected
to your computer by the JumpShot USB cable.
To erase pictures from the card, select the pictures inside the
Photo650 folder and press the Delete key. Then confirm
the deletion at the prompt.
Transferring Pictures with the Serial
Cable
Follow the steps in these sections to transfer your pictures
directly from the camera using the serial cable and HotShots:
◗ Connecting the camera to a Windows PC or Macintosh
◗ Transferring pictures using HotShots
NOTE
When the camera is connected to your system, you can’t use any
of the camera controls.
To save battery power, you can leave the camera turned off as
you transfer the pictures or connect the optional AC adapter, as
described in Appendix A.
Connecting the Camera to a Windows PC
Make sure you have the serial cable that came with your
camera. Before you start, turn off the camera, LCD monitor,
and your computer.
1 Locate a serial port on the back of your computer. You
may have two serial ports labeled COM1 and COM2, or
they may be labeled with icons. For the best results, 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, available at most computer stores.
