Downloading Files

The Digital Camera supports mass storage function, which means that the camera connects directly
to the computer to transfer the files without using a third party application or installing a TWAIN driver.
However, only the newer versions of Windows operating systems (2000/ME/XP) support mass storage
feature. If using a Windows 98SE operating system, install the mass storage driver first.
