Chapter 4 – Connecting to a Computer
The digital camera stores pictures as digital data rather
than on film. Instead of making a trip to a developer and
printing from negatives, you can copy your pictures to a
computer for long-term storage. Once transferred, your
pictures can be viewed, edited, printed, sent to friends
and family via e-mail, or saved to any removable media
device (such as floppy disk or CD-ROM) for delivery to a
photofinisher. After transferring pictures to your
computer, any copies stored on the memory card or on
the camera's internal memory can be deleted to
provide room for new pictures.
This chapter explains how to connect your digital
camera to a computer to download pictures to a PC or
to use as a PC camera.
CAUTION: Do not connect the camera to your
computer before installing the software. This may cause
installation problems. Please make sure you install the
software from the CD-ROM prior to connecting the
camera to your computer.
