Connecting to a Computer
Your Nikon digital camera stores pictures as digital data. Instead of making
the trip to a developer and getting negatives, you can simply copy your pic-
tures to a computer for long-term storage using the Nikon View 5 software
provided with your camera. Once transferred to your computer, your pictures
can be viewed, printed, sent to your acquaintances via e-mail, or saved to a
Zip disk or other removable media for delivery to a photofinisher. Any copies
stored on the memory card after transfer can be deleted to make way for new
pictures, which you can then add to the growing digital photo album on your
computer.

Before copying pictures to your computer, you will need to install Nikon View 5,
an application that allows you to transfer pictures from the camera memory
card to a computer hard disk and view them on the computer monitor. To
