Note
• If you use the battery, make sure that it is sufficiently charged. It is
recommended that you use the optional AC adapter when connecting the
camera to a computer. The camera does not turn off automatically while it is
connected to (communicating with) a computer. If the battery power runs out,
the camera will stop whatever operation it is performing. This may result in a
computer malfunction, or loss of image data (file) being transmitted.
• Do not open the battery compartment/card cover or unpulug the AC adapter
while it is connected to the computer. Doing so could cause the computer to
malfunction.
• Connecting the camera to a computer via a USB hub may cause unstable operation
if there is any problem with compatibility between the computer and the hub. In this
case, do not use a hub, but connect the camera directly to the computer.
