Introduction
USB Auto Connect is a feature that allows an Olympus digital camera to emulate a disk drive
when connected to a computer. This feature makes it simple to copy the pictures to your
computer by using standard drag-and-drop procedures. There is no need to install drivers
(except for Windows 98) since the camera is supported by the operating system. Note: The C-
211/3000/3030 Zoom and C-2100 Ultra Zoom are not USB Auto Connect cameras. These
models use a standard USB driver.
