1. Start up the computer. The computer must be on before connect-
ing 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 102.

USB cable to the camera. Make sure the plug is firmly attached.
4. Attach the other end of the USB cable to the computer's USB port.

to a USB hub may prevent proper operation.

is made automatically; a screen appears to indicate the operation.
The monitor turns off when the connection has been made. If the
USB connection is not made, disconnect the camera and restart
the computer. Repeat the connection procedure above.
