Notes
• When you connect the camera to your computer with the cradle, use the AC adapter whenever possible.
When using the battery, be sure that the battery has sufficient power. Note that the camera's battery will
continuously discharge (use energy) when connected (communicating) with a computer. If the battery
power is exhausted, the camera will stop operating and the computer may malfunction and the image data
(files) being transferred may be lost.
• Do not turn the camera off when the camera is connected with a computer, doing so may cause a
malfunction.
• If the camera is connected to a computer via a USB hub, reliable operation cannot be guaranteed. If a
malfunction should occur, connect the camera directly to the computer without using the USB hub.
Using the images imported in your computer
Be sure to use the images copied to the computer when you edit images using graphic
software. Depending on the application software used, editing images (such as rotating) on the
picture card may cause damage to the file data on the card.
If the image data cannot be transferred from the card in the camera connected
using the USB cable
Use an xD-Picture Card adapter (sold separately) depending the operating system for
transferring the image data from the xD-Picture card to a computer. For details, refer to the
OLYMPUS website.
