Connecting The Remote Camera - Minolta Dimage X20 Instruction Manual

CONNECTING THE REMOTE CAMERA

Before the camera can be connected to a computer, the remote camera driver must be installed, see
page 104. 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 98SE, the USB driver must be installed before connecting the camera to a computer (p.
92).
1. Select RemoteCamera from the transfer mode option in section 3
of the setup menu.
2. Start up the computer. The computer must be turned on before
connecting the camera.
3. Slide the AV-out terminal / USB-port cover open. Insert the small
plug of the USB cable into the camera. 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 connected 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. A live image
is displayed on the monitor.
