Connecting The Camera To A Computer - Minolta DiMAGE Xt Instruction Manual

CONNECTING THE CAMERA TO A COMPUTER

A fully charged battery should be used when the camera is connected to a computer. The
use of the AC adapter (sold separately) is recommended over the use of the battery. For
users with Windows 98 or 98SE, read the section on page 86 on how to install the
necessary USB driver before connecting the camera to a computer.
1.Start up the computer. The computer must be turned on before connecting the camera.
2.Insert the memory card into the camera. To change the memory card while the camera
is connected to a computer, see page 94.
3.Slide the AV-out terminal / USB-port cover open.
Insert the small plug of the USB cable into the cam-
era. Make sure the plug is firmly attached.
4.Attach the other end of the USB cable to the computer's USB port.
Make sure the plug is firmly attached. The camera should be con-
nected directly to the computer's USB port. Attaching the camera to a
USB hub may prevent the camera from operating properly.
5 Turn on the camera to initiate the USB connection. While the camera is
connected to a computer, the data-transfer screen will be displayed.
