DATA-TRANSFER MODE

Read this section carefully before connecting the camera to a computer. The DiMAGE manuals do
not cover the basic operation of computers or their operating systems; please refer to the manual
supplied with your computer.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

For the camera to be connected directly to the computer and used as a mass-storage device, the
computer must be equipped with a USB port as a standard interface. The computer and the operat-
ing system must be guaranteed by their manufacturers to support USB interface. The following
operating systems are compatible with the camera:
Windows 98, 98SE, Me, 2000 Professional, and XP Home and Professional editions.
Mac OS 9.0 ~ 9.2.2 and Mac OS X 10.1.3 - 10.1.5, 10.2.1 ~ 10.2.8, 10.3 ~10.3.8
Check the Konica Minolta web site for the latest compatibility information:
North America: http://kmpi.konicaminolta.us/
Europe: http://www.konicaminoltasupport.com/
Users with Windows 98 or 98 Second Edition will need to install the driver software on the included
Digital Camera Software CD-ROM (p. 82). No special driver software is required for other Windows
or Macintosh operating systems.
Customers who have bought a previous Konica Minolta DiMAGE or SLR digital camera and have
installed the Windows 98 driver software must repeat the installation procedure. The updated ver-
sion of the driver software included on the supplied Digital Camera Software CD-ROM is required
for the operation of the DiMAGE X60 with a computer. The new software has no affect on the per-
formance of the older cameras.

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. Before connecting the
camera, confirm data storage is selected in the transfer-mode option in section 3 of the setup
menu (p.72). For users with Windows 98 or 98SE, read the section on page 82 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. To transfer images from a memory card, insert the memory card into the camera. To transfer
images from the camera's internal memory, remove the memory card from the camera. To insert
or remove the memory card while the camera is connected to a computer, see page 90.

Initializing USB connection.
3. Slide the USB-port cover open. Insert the small
plug of the USB cable into the camera. Insert
the plug in straight, never at an angle. 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 pre-
vent the camera from operating properly.
5. Turn on the camera to initiate the USB connec-
tion. While the camera is connected to a com-
puter, the data-transfer screen is displayed.
