Connecting the Camera to Your Computer
Never perform the following operations while the software installed from the Solution
Disk is running after connecting the camera to the computer as a communications
error may occur.
• Set the camera's power switch to <OFF>.
• Open the memory card slot cover.
• Disconnect the dedicated cable, remove the battery, and then remove the DC
coupler.
• Disconnect the AC adapter's plug or power cord.
Before you perform the operations above, be sure to quit all the software.
Use only the dedicated FireWire (IEEE1394) cable.

Push the plug firmly all the way into the socket. Loose connections can cause faults
or malfunctions.
Do not connect the camera to your computer via a hub. Or do not connect multiple
FireWire (IEEE1394) devices to your computer. If you do so, the camera may not
operate correctly.
Operation of the Auto power off function will automatically switch the camera off,
disabling to communicate with your computer. Set the Auto power off function to 2
[OFF] in advance. (Refer to "Menu Operations" in the camera's Instruction Manual.)
Do not connect more than one camera to the same computer. The connections may
not operate correctly.
While the camera and your computer are communicating, the camera's LCD panel
may blink or the image on the monitor may flicker. However, this is not a malfunction.
When unplugging the dedicated cable, be sure to grip the sides of the plug as you pull
it out.
If you do not perform any operation while the camera and computer are connected, a
confirmation message appears on the computer screen asking whether you wish to
continue communicating with the camera for some computer systems. If you do not
perform any operation even after this message appears, the communication with the
camera is terminated. To re-establish the communication, press the shutter button
down halfway or set the camera's power switch to <OFF> and then back to <ON>.
Do not put your computer to sleep while it is connected to the camera.
If your computer goes into the sleep mode, never disconnect the dedicated cable
while your computer is still in sleep mode. Always wake your computer up while it is
connected to the camera. On some types of computer, disconnecting the dedicated
FireWire (IEEE1394) cable while your computer is in sleep mode could prevent the
computer from waking up correctly. Refer to the computer User's Manual for more
information on sleep mode.
When the camera is connected to a computer, you should use the DC Coupler Kit.
